Hey there, I'm Imani.
I'm an actress, writer, and filmmaker based in Atlanta, GA. When I'm not on the stage or screen, you can find me furiously jotting down story ideas as I'm a playwright, screenwriter, and poet; or you can find me giving other indie producers advice and inspiration on my Instagram and TikTok pages. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in creative writing & English, with a concentration in screenwriting (summa cum laude, #humblebrag).
My most recent piece of filmmaking good news is winning ‘Best Actress’ for my film Double Delivery at the East Village New York film festival. The film is a heartfelt comedy about two sisters throwing a baby shower who have their world turned upside-down when the man delivering their food happens to be their long-lost deadbeat dad. We’re still submitting to festivals and also pitching the series—the film doubles as a proof of concept. (See what I did there?)
I wrote, produced, and directed the film. Private viewing link is available upon request.
I’ve done other cool stuff too; on the acting front, I recently celebrated the release of Secret Life of a Dominatrix, where I held a supporting role in the feature film directed by Gabriela Revilla Lugo. You can stream it on Tubi. You may have also seen me as the recurring character Zayla on NBC’s hit show Ordinary Joe. If you haven’t, you can stream it on Peacock and Hulu.
On the writing front, we’re celebrating my writing on the pilot episode of Probably Problematic with TS Madison, produced by FOX Soul. We garnered over 160,000 views across platforms. I was also named as a Dihvinely Konnecked Fellow with Kenny Leon’s True Colors Theatre. It’s a distinguishment I’m pretty proud of and you can read my commission here.
When I’m not wearing one of my many hats, I like to visit the library (a dying passtime) or chow down at my local taco stand.
Feel free to have a look around and reach out! I look forward to us working together.
