The Person
At the age of eleven, Debbie gave her heart to Jesus Christ when
she invited Him in to be her Lord and Savior.
After graduating from Georgia Tech, she moved to New York City
to pursue her life long dream of becoming an actress.
While in NYC she studied at professional film and TV schools.
Debbie was well on her way to achieving her dream. She had
the opportunity to audition for a soap opera. While
auditioning, she realized that NYC was not where she felt
called.
Debbie then began writing and performing material for the
church. It is her desire to create quality Christian films
and materials that inspire and challenge Christians while
entertaining them.
Debbie is a wife, mother (a former home school mom), writer,
singer, songwriter, director, producer, filmmaker, actress,
comedienne, dancer and now her favorite role of being a
grandmother. In May, Debbie was blessed with her first
grandchild.
The Writer
Debbie began writing as a child. When she was a little
girl she would write poems and creative stories. During
college, she began writing comedy monologues.
While studying acting in New York City, she wrote her first
play. Soon after that comedy and drama sketches followed.
Debbie spent many years perfroming these skits in different
churches to introduce the pastor's message.
Debbie is a writer of both fiction and nonfiction books.
You can find her the ordering information for her books here on
this website.
In addition to writing screenplays, skits, monologues and books,
Debbie has written song. You can hear her son, "Praying for You My Friend"
featured in the film "Redemption." She also has
several music videos that she has produced. Be sure to
check them out.
The Film Producer
When Debbie was a little girl she used to pretend to be making
movies.
She would cast her neighborhood friends in various roles and
"direct" them in her pretend movies.
Her dream was to be "in" movies when she grew up. Seeing a
need for clean, encouraging, quality movies motivated Debbie to
start writing and producing them. She wanted to produce
movies that Christians felt comfortable watching even at church.
In addition to producing Christian films, Debbie has written,
directed and produced a series of short films for youth.
These short films deal with the major issues teens face today.
To help pastors and youth minister add sizzle to their sermons,
she created a line of products called "Appetizers." They
are designed to whet the appetite or get the congregation
interested in the sermon.
A new line that Debbie hopes to produce in the near future is a
series of
animated films for teens and children. She also hopes to even
dabble in children's cartoons.
Debbie loves to direct and develop new talented actors.
She likes helping others achieve their dreams while she is
achieving hers.
The Actress
Debbie has been performing and entertaining people since she was
little. At the age of five she was first runner up in the
Little Miss Tucker pageant. In first grade she stood in
front of the whole elementary school and recited a poem about
"Red Shoes". Being so little, she had to stand on a crate
and on her tippy toes to reach the microphone. In fifth
grade she played the role of Violet in "Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory." She was so excited that she got to chew gum for
this part during school.
Debbie loves to make people laugh and would often imitate famous
celebrities for her friends. She is a practical joker and
people often have a hard time knowing if she is kidding or not.
Touching people's hearts is Debbie's passion and she believes
that God has given her the talent to do this through acting.
Whether she is making you laugh or cry, she hopes you will
remember the message of her performance.
The Speaker
Debbie is also a motivational speaker and captivates her
audience to think outside the box. She uses the Word of
God to inspire them to walk their talk, use their God given
talents and abilities and obey His Word. She wants to
fire-up the troops so that each person serves God with passion
and power. She believes everyone is a unique
creation created by God at this moment in time to offer the world
something only they can offer.
It is the desire of her heart to inspire and encourage everyone to live
up to their full potential, so that they can achieve what God created them to
do.
One of her favorite verses is Matthew 5:16. "Let your
light shine before men so that they may see your good deeds and
praise your Father in Heaven." Debbie wants to be a light that
shines brightly pointing everyone to God so that they can
connect with Him in a real and personal way.
