I'm currently working on 2 productions, 1 of them is called Soul Sisters and its about an African medical student seeking better professional opportunity in the United States finds herself caught up in the American immigration war. With the political heat mounting on “illegal immigrants,” she’s faced only with a dilemma: she either continues to live on the fringes of the society, where there’s no hope for her career goal, or give up all hope on the American dream.
