When asked by his mom, Debra Bonner, what he wants to be when he grows up, Mauli Bonner said he really just wants to be a dad. But right now, the singer/songwriter and now film director/screenwriter has felt called to do something that has taken time away from his efforts as a husband and father. He has devoted his time to creating a film to honor Black pioneers and other Black members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The film is named after one Black pioneer in particular and is titled His Name Is Green Flake. Proceeds from the film will go toward building a monument representing the African-American contribution to the Church and to the early Utah territory.
