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. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in creative writing & English, with a concentration in screenwriting (summa cum laude, #humblebrag).
My most recent piece of good news is the release of my first film, One Last Christmas. It’s a darling Christmas comedy that follows four friends (and one uninvited sibling) as they celebrate their last Christmas together before half the friend group moves across the country.
I wrote, produced, directed, and starred in the film and it garnered over 10,000 views within the first week of release. (These are also all humble brags.) You can watch it here.
I’ve done other cool stuff too; on the acting front, I just wrapped a supporting role in a feature film directed by Gabriela Revilla Lugo. 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, I was 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.
Let’s grab some sometime — Miss Rona permitting.
Feel free to have a look around and reach out! I look forward to us working together.
