A Jack Of All Trades, spontaneous and creative… August 23, 1981 marks the birth date of an immensely talented Virgo known as Byron Flowers. He is a native of San Diego, California and is none other than a Creativian in all aspects. Seeking the essence of life helped escape Flowers from his hometown to venture off to Baltimore, MD in the spring of 2002 where he would attend Morgan State University to study theatre arts. This life changing transition would allow Flowers to learn the skill of acting, not only as a craft, but also as a skill of life. As a result, Flowers can now credit his resume with accomplishments such as being a 2005 graduate of Morgan State University with a B.A. in theater arts. As an aspiring actor he has utilized his acting skills by participating in various productions such as Black Nativity: “Oh Come All Ye Faithful,” SD Kuumba Fest’s Black to Love, The RibShack, One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show, A Soldier’s Play, David E. Talbert’s Love on Layaway for reader’s theatre, and many more. During and after college Flowers allowed himself to retain an open mind. Preserving this type of mentality has given him a chance to credit his life with accomplishments such as Co-founding Order/Khaos Entertainment with colleague, Jack Lyons, and founding Khaotical Fashions in the year 2008. Flowers learned quickly that forming corporations for himself would create the efficient type of outlet for his creative release for acting, writing and designing. As a result, Flowers put his creative writing skills to use and created his first screenplay, Contagious, in 2005 while in his senior year at Morgan State. The content of Contagious involves a young woman in college who discovers from her doctor that she is infected with AIDS. She then takes it upon herself to spread the disease purposefully to every one that she comes in contact with sexually. Surprisingly, as Contagious inadvertently served as an HIV awareness tool, the film also unintentionally led Flowers to become involved with AIDS awareness. Accordingly, Flowers has since then made efforts in trying to raise AIDS awareness throughout the United States. One of his efforts includes the creation of The Black Woman…Endangered Species Project, which was aimed at educating the Black community of the rising numbers of Black women rapidly becoming infected with AIDS. Continuous efforts with HIV awareness resulted in Flowers creating the literary text for his feature length film 2 Contagious, which has received national acclaim by taking third place in the 2007 Urban Media Makers Film Festival Scriptwriting Competition. Always maintaining a keen sense of self by being aware of his skills and talents, Joat Silence is an architect in the sense of being a never-ending project who will continue to build on his mind, body, and soul and design the blueprint to his life.
