With over 30 years in the industry, this award-winning film director, author and journalist is a trailblazer who has received several awards for her creativity as a barrier breaking generational force in this decade.

�Diaswood is here; it is timely because we are professional immigrant artists resident in the USA. We bestride two unique worlds like the colossus with a fusion and blend of both. We are challenged by barriers in breaking into mainstream film or stage because of our uniqueness; yet it is our uniqueness that makes us stand out, proud and tall above many. We are not Hollywood or Bollywood or Nollywood. We are Diaswood. And we intend to create our own industry. Most of our programs will be aired through our sister network, DIASTV.TV. though we will be open to syndication.�

Finally, we have the opportunity to showcase our exotic originality,our authenticity, our artistry, our stories, our heritage presented through our own networks. We intend to meet the highest standards in news reporting and compete favorably, and even collaborate with other similar networks. The beauty is that artists, particularly women of color will not face prejudice, bias or discrimination in telling their stories. This is our network!�
