irector Statement:
“12 Sided Die, Season 2” spoke to me because even though it is set against the niche backdrop of a group of friends that play role-playing games, the emotions shine splendidly through. Whether you play D&D or not, the antics and obstacles of the characters in the series are universal. I feel anyone, whether you play D&D or not, will understand, laugh and get emotional over what transpires in this piece. That is, you don’t have to know how to defeat a Minotaur to thoroughly enjoy “12 Sided Die”.

In 2018, Charles-Pearson founded the nonprofit theater company Houston Play On Purpose, where she writes, produces and directs stage productions focusing on social justice and amplifying the voices of the underserved.
Past productions include 2017's In All Thy Getting: The Forgotten Story of Freedmen’s Town, a stage play celebrating the triumphant rise of an ex-slave settlement in Fourth Ward Houston, 2018's I’m Still a Woman, an episodic stage play aimed at raising awareness concerning the growing, yet taboo issue of infertility in women of color and 2019's groundbreaking Black, White & Sunshine, which shed light on the disproportionality of children of color being swept into both the juvenile justice and child welfare systems.
As with her stage plays, Charles-Pearson is always careful to incorporate historic research and activism throughout her work, which was displayed in her film directorial debut, the provocative think-piece and alternate history drama short If They Took Us Back, for which Charles-Pearson won Best Director (BIFA Film Festival), Best Picture (Hip Hop Film Festival), Best Texas Narrarive Short & Virtual People's Choice (Denton Film Festival), Best Male Performance (Queen City Film Festival) and was nominated for a 2025 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Short Form Live Action.
