Hi, everyone!
My name is Zowie King. I'm 15 years old and a high school junior (CO 22'!). I've always liked to learn about my history of my people and the injustices we face as black people. Last year, it was in my heart to write a script about police brutality and racism, not knowing about what would happen to George Floyd. I'm grieved and humbled that what I put on paper is still happening today & I want my voice to be heard. I am a child of a single mother who raised me with the values to honor God and respect people. It hasn't always been easy but it's been worth it. Our funds aren't so much. As I was researching of how to get my script with the people that could make my voice heard, I found out that I needed someone to represent me and I don't have anyone to do that. I also like to act & am currently working on a short story about colorism in the black community. God bless!
-Zowie

Hey, Zowie King! Nice to meet you! Wow, 15 as a junior? You'll be a young graduate come 2022! I'm so encouraged to hear you've found a passion in writing and telling stories! We need more diversity in our entertainment without a doubt! I'm also an only child of a single mother and, as it happens, was teaching TV and Film production in a public high school this time last year! * long-distance high-five *
On your way to finding representation, I would whole-heartedly encourage you to simply find mentors and collaborators, as they will help you to continue to make progress on your way to success.
