Imani’s one-act play Grace was produced by Pegasus Players Theatre Chicago after winning the 19th Annual Young Playwrights Festival in 2005.

Imani hasn’t penned any plays since, turning her sights to fiction instead. She now spends the majority of her time working on back story and hanging out with her family.
