BIO

Shawanda Williams, professionally known as N’Tyse (pronounced entice), is an award-recognized publisher, novelist, screenwriter, and film producer whose work sits at the intersection of commercially driven storytelling and culturally resonant Black narratives. A Dallas native, wife, and mother of two, N’Tyse transitioned from a twelve-year corporate banking career into full-time creative leadership after a life-altering pregnancy, choosing to transform passion into purpose. With a background in Creative Writing and Film/Media Studies from Arizona State University, N’Tyse brings a multidisciplinary lens to storytelling, creating female-centric dramas, romantic suspense, and crime thrillers designed for both page and screen. Her literary work has been featured in Library Journal, USA Today, Black Expressions, and The Dallas Morning News. N’Tyse is best known as the creator and producer of Gutta Mamis, the first of five independently produced book-to-film adaptations. Originally bootstrapped on a $5,000 micro-shoestring budget and fueled by student-film ingenuity and grassroots momentum, the neo-noir crime drama was developed and acquired by Maverick Entertainment Group during pre-production. Premiering in November 2020 amid pandemic lockdowns, the film streamed on platforms including Tubi and Peacock and went on to gross six figures within its first three months of release, establishing N’Tyse as a trailblazer in independent, creator-led book-to-screen adaptation. She later co-developed and co-wrote Bid for Love, a romantic drama that aired as a BET Original television film, further solidifying her credibility within network and streamer ecosystems. A distinctive force in the literary landscape, N’Tyse is the Founder and CEO of Black Odyssey Media, one of the largest Black woman-owned independent publishers operating within the traditional publishing space. The company combines scale, national distribution, and a deliberate focus on culturally resonant, commercially viable urban storytelling. Building on her independent production success, N’Tyse is now focused on expanding Black Odyssey Media’s film and television arm, developing market-tested literary IP for adaptation across streaming and premium platforms. Her work is defined by a sharp eye for scalable IP, budget-conscious production strategies, and a long-term vision centered on partnerships with studios, streamers, and distributors seeking dynamic, market-ready content.
