As a woman and an artist, my role is to inspire, empower, challenge, entertain, share our human experience through life and story, be truthful, and heal through the arts. I am a proud mother. I work full time in the legal field while pursuing my dream to act again after raising a family for the past 25 years. I began doing publicity for theatre and film to get me back around the field that I am most passionate about. I am back on stage, studying and shooting shorts, and doing everything humanly possible to be a great actress and secure roles that have meaning and shine a positive light on Strong Intelligent Black Women and people of color. I was a designer in another life, like my mother and sister, Tuesday Conner, I was raised sewing and designing clothing, which I did for many years as a young adult. I studied at Inner City Cultural Center and enhanced my skills in theatre, voice and dance.
I took an awesome film class with Richard Lawson and am now creating my own shorts/scenes - trying to build a reel of work for me and other like minds. I study with Francisco Cali, a brilliant acting instructor. I still do minimal publicity - but that is no longer my focus. I work with Ian Foxx - I started my career with him 30 years ago when he own and operated the Foxx Follies Theatre and made my first film with him called "Corner Boy." I applaud you for paving the way, staying true to your dreams and keeping positive relationships alive amongst us. Take wings...soar!
