Who is Poor George?
“Poor George” is the fable of a man who was never meant to be born.
We live in a world built by the powerful, for the powerful. I want to give power to the powerless, those who were never meant to be born. I believe everyone should have the chance to make art and tell their own stories.
This project began as a way to produce my own work, but since then, I have worked with numerous writers and other artists to bring their stories to life when they would not have had the chance to otherwise. I believe in centering and advancing the voice of the living writer and bringing new stories to life for this generation.
