Stealing Home: How Deed Theft Makes Homeowners Homeless

Nominated at the 46th Annual New York Emmy Awards for Diversity/Equity/Inclusion – Long Form Content (2024)

POSITION | Narrator

Nominated for a 2024 New York Emmy Award in the Informational/Instructional category, this powerful documentary exposes the growing epidemic of deed theft targeting mostly Black and brown NYC property owners, many of whom are older. The film follows Michael Baker, who was wrongfully evicted from a Brooklyn home his family owned since 1963, highlighting the complex confidence scams behind these illegal property seizures.

I contributed as the narrator, lending my voice to guide viewers through this urgent and personal story of injustice and resilience.
