I am from blackberry brandy kissey faces
And dill pickle memories”

“I am from this great land of liberty
From pirates’ sunken glory days
From a guy signing for our independence
From red-faced natives
And from whatever happened to be cheapest at the liquor store
I am from blackberry brandy kissey faces
And dill pickle memories”
In all seriousness though, and with a little more polish than pizazz, I am a theatre artist with a passion for poetry, travel, and community. I have trained with John O’Neal of Junebug Productions (Color Line Project), SITI Company (2010 Skidmore Summer Intensive), and was one of 25 international directors selected to participate in the 2014 Directors Lab North in Toronto.
In 2011, I was presented with the Akron Arts Alive Award in the Rising Young Star/Leadership category. The same year, I helped found Akron’s only African-American theatre company and received a grant to tour a role-playing workshop about racism, poverty, class, and social status. In 2013, my partner and I completed a thru-hike of the 2,185.9-mile Appalachian Trail.
During the time of COVID-19, I have learned to garden and can now engage in Spanish at the A-2 level. Currently, I am working on a production about ghosts. My theatre company, Wandering Aesthetics, is looking for a new home/venue– if you happen to know of any.
