In the midst of global chaos, art-making, facilitation, and culture-work is providing me with solace and inspiration.
I am grateful to share that my new play for young audiences, "Sheela & The Amazons", was presented as part of the inaugural season for Little Island @Pier55! Many thanks to the extraordinary support of the New Victory Theater's LabWorks program. Costumes and character renderings by Sharone Malka.
I was also part of the cohort for the 2021 Summer Writing Residency with The Inner Loop. The Inner Loop is a literary reading series and network for creative writers in the Washington, DC metro area. I was able to spend time on the sacred land of my ancestors, enslaved and free, at Woodlawn Estate & Pope-Leighey House. A new piece of theater titled "Living Landscapes" is beginning to form in my imagination. Check out my blog post inspired by my time at the Woodlawn Estate here!
