Taju Shoaga

Taju Alim, a Screenwriter from Houston, TX, developed the passion for writing in his high school English Literature Class. Taju and several other students were grouped together to rewrite the play Antigone for a major grade assignment. Potentially facing summer school and desperate for a passing grade, Taju single-handedly re-wrote the play. The group received an A and Taju discovered his inner love for writing. While furthering his education at Lamar University, Taju became a member of the Zeta Psi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi and obtained a Bachelors Degree in Communications. He’s written several feature length scripts and has put together various Spoken Word videos. Taju's work has been featured on local Houston radio stations, Worldstarhip-hop, Blavity and Russell Simmons All Def Poetry. Taju Alim's ultimate goal is to write and direct screenplays that influentia-lly create unity amongst all races.
