About Me
When A Raisin in the Sun was making it's original debut to unprecedented numbers of African American audience members - the director, incognito, asked a theatre-goer why she was coming to see the show. The patron, an older woman, replied, "I heard there was something here that concerns me". This statement drives the crux of my service as an actor. I'm here to present something, honestly and truthfully, that concerns you.

Feel free to browse the site for some of my work. Let's make something we have to talk about after. (And if you're here because you've seen one of my plays, and need to talk about it after, that's great too!!)
