My name is Alicia McClendon, and I'm an award-winning screenwriter and actress who produces films about black women who are perceived as strong yet are highly flawed. I write about real-world issues in an entertaining way to educate an audience while entertaining them.

I want to raise funds to shoot this short film adapted from the psychological thriller feature and prove to literary managers and producers that I am very serious about my career.

Also, representation matters. We need more black women in leading roles, and I'm ready to make that happen.
