WBAI Interview
#SoInspired
I had such a wonderful interview with WBAI's Malika Lee Whitney on "Untitled" July 26, 2019 before I performed First By Faith: The Life Of Mary McLeod Bethune to SOLDOUT audiences at the Thirtieth Anniversary of the National Black Theatre Festival, Winston Salem, North Carolina in August.
Now I am so excited to return to the Tenth Anniversary of the United Solo Theatre Festival in the Best Of Category September 26, 2019, 7:30 pm on Theatre Row, where I world premiered last year and won the "Best Education Show Award".
