life of Taqiyya, a suicidal NYC hip hop poet and her battle with manic depression.
 Ophelia's Opera is an experimental domestic violence film directed by Abiola Abrams where Ophelia
uses a spell to free herself from an abusive relationship.
Afrodite Superstar is a 2007 feminist empowerment erotica film that Abiola Abrams directed under the name Venus

by Candida Royalle. The film has been endorsed by Essence
Magazine, The Village Voice, and the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors
and Therapists, Feminists for Free Expression, premiered at the New School for Social Research, and was featured in the art
exhibit Hos, Putas and Dragon Ladies: Our Sexuality Remixed at the Chashama Gallery.
