A little about my work...

The reason I continue to be drawn to theatre is the power of story and its ability to make you feel seen. When I read Fences by August Wilson, it was the first time I’d ever felt seen in a play. I heard the voices of my family in that piece, I saw it written on the page. I’d never seen that before. I felt understood. It’s why I write. I can never do what he did. I can never be who he was, not even close, but he gave me a gift. He looked me in the eye and said, "I see you." All I want to do with my writing is give that feeling to someone else. 

Currently in my writing, I'm focusing on telling stories that center the female and Black experiences through an absurdist and comedic lens. I want to normalize our bodies and voices on the American stage, as I believe our point of view can be universal too.
