"Stacey's voice as a filmmaker is clear, bold and ready to be heard."

Ava DuVernay

Stacey's lens is shaped by the emotional truth of human experience and the unyielding brilliance of the Southern imagination. From her upcoming feature film, The Return, to her directing work on series including Prime Video's The Greatest and CROSS, Queen Sugar, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and Harlem, she is drawn to stories where character, memory, place, and purpose carry the frame. Her work is grounded in specificity, guided by craft, and devoted to the belief that the people at the center of a story should be seen with fullness, complexity, and truth.

She is the creator of The Director's Notebook, a digital film school and creative sanctuary for artists, filmmakers, actors, writers, and storytellers committed to craft, truth, and the deeper work of cinema.
