About Me
Welcome to my journey—a life dedicated to the American stage and the transformative power of performance. Over the last three decades, I have stepped into the roles of characters born not just from my life but from the lives of others across cultures. Each role reflects humanity in its fullness, celebrating our shared stories and struggles. For me, this work is not just a career; it is a divine calling, a God-given gift shaped by the dreams of my ancestors.
​I am the hope and the dream of those who came before me—enslaved African Americans and people of all cultures who faced barriers of race, gender, and oppression. Through theater, I carry their legacy forward, honoring their resilience and ensuring their stories are seen and heard. Every time I step onto a stage, I strive to embody their strength and to inspire others to see the humanity in themselves and in one another.
