CJ has a passion for creating films that represent underrepresented communities like her own and showcase memorable moments. She enjoys art in many forms including movies, paintings, music, and especially video games. One of her fondest childhood memories was playing video games with her brother, who was often her biggest support system even through her experience in foster care and when she lacked her parents' support. Gaming was a joyful escape from her reality, allowing her to focus on beating her opponents and to bond and make memories with her brother.

CJ would really enjoy playing video games on a refurbished PlayStation 5 console after a busy day. It would allow her to unwind and relax after the stress of finishing homework and dealing with other worries. Video games help calm her down and bring back fond memories of playing with her brother. CJ often reminisces about the laughter they shared while playing together, which brought them closer as siblings. Enjoying some gaming time would not only provide relaxation but also a heartfelt connection to those joyful moments from her childhood.
