Hi, I’m TWoN, short for Antoine. Growing up in New York, my two great loves were playing sports and telling stories. As I got older, I discovered a new passion in martial arts and have been dedicated to it for over 20 years. In 2015, my life took a turn when my mother was diagnosed with cancer. I put everything on hold to be by her side during her three-year battle. However, just a week before my birthday, she passed away. That experience forced me to re-evaluate my life, my values, and what truly matters. Watching someone you love go through that makes you realize what is genuinely important, helps you understand your own worth, and shapes your sense of purpose.
I couldn’t help my mother fight cancer, but I could sit beside her, hold her hand, and make her laugh by telling her my stories. After she was gone, I realized I didn’t want to leave this world without sharing more of those stories. So, I dedicated myself to writing, editing, and learning how to turn my stories into films I can share with others. I don’t know how many trips around the sun I have left, but while I’m still here, I want to try and share a few more stories and hopefully bring a few more smiles along the way before it’s my time to go.
