The position was created specifically for her and her talents. During her tenure there she planned and coordinated Columbia’s first African American/International Film Festival in January 2002. 

Her independent documentary "My Name Ain't Eve" (2009) investigated the historical and contemporary traditions that black parents use to name their children, as well as, the diversity of names for the black race itself. Building on the unique names of her own family, the documentary delved into the many intricacies of naming traditions in the African American community. The “Eve” documentary won several awards at film festivals and is currently in the SCETV archives. You can usually catch a replay of the documentary during Black History Month on SCETV stations.
