Funkface Writer/Creator
All the work I do, and all that I have done, is dedicated to my Beautiful Black Gods.
Pops carry moments of pleasure; you carry nine months through pain, patience, fear, faith, and suffering. You carry life before the world ever sees it, protect dreams before they have names, and build strength in places nobody claps for.
Every story I tell stands on the foundation you built — through love that kept going, sacrifice that went unseen, and strength that held families, futures, and generations together.
And I know you are of the 92%, Momma.
Sleep well. Jah Bless.

Funkface: Writer, Creator, Musician, Visionary Storyteller
whose work blends spirituality, history, mystery, poetry, science fiction, psychological horror, and social commentary into bold cinematic experiences.
Before entering film, Funkface built a career in music as the creator of da Funk of Brotha’Hood. He later became a solo artist signed by Gaff Music, a subsidiary of Sony Music and sponsored by Burns Guitar. Throughout his musical journey, he shared stages with artists including Fishbone, Sublime, Long Beach Dub All Stars, Lil’ Kim, Average White Band, Biggie Smalls, Scarface, Ice-T, Junior M.A.F.I.A., Fernando Saunders, Luke Skywalker, 2 Live Crew, and many others. He also worked alongside great Producers and Writers: Laurie Ashbourne, Lenore Kletter, and the late Neal Lemlein and Kip Collins.
After years of performing, writing, and creating through music, Funkface expanded his storytelling into film, bringing with him a voice shaped by rhythm, philosophy, spirituality, imagination, and lived experience.
As the creator of Funkface Legacy, Funkface develops stories that challenge audiences to think beyond the obvious. His work explores faith and doubt, good and evil, judgment and redemption, history and identity, technology and humanity. Rather than offering simple answers, his stories invite viewers to wrestle with difficult questions and reach their own conclusions.
Funkface’s Unique Way of Writing
Funkface writes from a place where story, spirit, history, warning, humor, pain, and imagination all meet. His writing does not move in a straight line just to entertain. It moves like memory, like prophecy, like something the audience is supposed to feel before they fully understand it.
What makes Funkface’s writing unique is the way he builds worlds around meaning. A character is never just a character. A line is never just a line. A moment can carry history, faith, culture, trauma, laughter, judgment, and a question for the audience to answer.
In 92%, that uniqueness shows through the way Black women are not presented as victims waiting to be saved. They are presented as witnesses, carriers, protectors, truth-tellers, and living proof of what the world refused to hear. Funkface writes them with weight, dignity, stubbornness, wisdom, and power.
His storytelling blends cinematic drama with spiritual reflection and audience participation. He does not just want viewers to watch the story. He wants them to wrestle with it, remember it, talk back to it, and ask themselves where they stand.
That is the Funkface Legacy style: bold, emotional, symbolic, unpredictable, and built to leave the audience saying:
“You didn’t see that?”
Whether through music, poetry, film, hidden messages, spiritual symbolism, historical memory, or audience participation, Funkface continues to build experiences designed to spark thought, emotion, and discussion.
At the center of his work is one simple challenge:
“You make the call.”
So here we stand.
92% was written and created by Funkface, a Strong Black Brother who believes deeply in the power, resilience, and legacy of Black women.
As a writer, Funkface can create characters. He can tell stories. He can research history. But as Funkface says:
"I want to hear it from the mouths of my Beautiful Black Gods."
There is one thing no man, no human being, no race, and no nationality can do: fully carry the weight of a Black woman’s journey. No one can truly know the victories she has earned, the burdens she has carried, the sacrifices she has made, the faith she has leaned on, or the wisdom passed down through generations of mothers, daughters, grandmothers, sisters, and ancestors.
As Funkface says:
"As a writer, I can imagine. I can listen. I can learn. I can honor. But I cannot place my pen exactly where a Black woman's footsteps have traveled. That journey belongs to her alone."
That is why Toshia founded the 92% Legacy Roundtable — to listen, to learn, and to ensure that the voices, experiences, and truths of Black women help strengthen the story of 92%.
Funkface says:
"I am asking for one thing: your valuable time, your stories, your strength, your wisdom, your faith, your perseverance, and your truth."
This is not about Black women finger-pointing. This is about Black women standing in the world with pride, success, and legacy — saying everything without having to say one word.
The Roundtable does not exist to give permission to tell the story. It exists to strengthen it — to help us listen, learn, and ensure that the women who inspire these characters have a voice in shaping them from pencil to paper, from production to the big screen.
We want to introduce you to the characters in the film. Who do you relate to? Does this character remind you of your momma? Does she act like Grandmaw? Does she laugh like your aunt? Is he bossy like your uncle? Do you see someone you love, someone you lost, or even a piece of yourself?
Funkface says:
"Help me mold these characters I have created in my mind, so I can place them truthfully on the big screen."
While one writer may create the story, the truth within that story is often found in the experiences of those who have lived it.
The goal of 92% is not to speak for Black women. The goal is to listen closely enough that their strength, wisdom, faith, perseverance, and legacy are reflected honestly on screen.
And that can only happen when real women become part of this journey.
We are now accepting email submissions from women interested in holding a chair at the 92% Legacy Roundtable or just wanna get things off your shoulders.
Please introduce yourself, share why you would like to join, and explain how your voice, experiences, wisdom, or perspective can help strengthen the story 92% is being created to bring to the big screen.
