MORE ABOUT ME
One of my most gratifying moments in theater was in 2009 when my friend and I produced my first play in LA. I wrote, co-produced and acted in it. It was titled House Rules about love, respect and Billie Holiday. The last performance was on my birthday; my mom came in from Arizona to watch... she dressed in vintage clothes... the audience sang to me. And someone in the audience said, "This play is as good as anything I've seen on Broadway." That was a beautiful day; and it was at The Lounge Theatre which is no more. Bittersweet. 

WHAT I'M WORKING ON
Radio play, The Boll Weevil & Chester Higgensworth (reparations; comedy); Time Out play about women and NBA dance, releasing my second novel, Harlem's Last Dance, producing a YouTube show with my husband, Her Words His Wine, and writing a site-specific one-woman show on migration for an Arizona-based museum.
