Greetings!

My name is Kamaya. I’m currently an English student at Wayne State University with goals of becoming a professional screenwriter. I’ve been writing screenplays for 7 years now age 12 to 18. I will be using this to learn more about film and also better my writing skills.

For this blog my intentions are to share Black and Queer stories. These communities are very underrepresented, so I wanted to share as many stories as possible. My passion for writing began during covid. There was a lot of time to think and discover new hobbies. While doing so I came to terms with my sexuality. This caused me to go down a long rabbit hole of lesbian media such as movies, tv shows, video games, books, and etc. After consuming so much in two and a half years I realized there is not many lesbian options. Good ones at least. Same with black stories. During the same time the BLM movement was vibrant. That made me pay attention to more black stories and actors. Doing that I saw less and less stories that resonated with me or felt accurate.

My goals are to create stories that can make current and future generations feel seen, heard, and inspired.
