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 patron 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 looking for work with a clear audience - and my main interest is getting it to them.
Feel free to browse the site for some of my work - the gallery, my reel, or drop me a line through the contact tab for audition or collaboration requests, representation, or just to connect. Let's make a play 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!!)
