Our attitude towards others determine their attitude towards us.

Loving Performing and Educating

I've been writing my life story and a couple of monologues. I have a couple of performances in April.  I'm really excited about this because I'm doing some thing I love. It's also new to me. I majored in childhood education and minored in English in college. I'm using both in an unconventional way which is something I believed that I would do all along.

Still Closed?

I will check to see if the Quad Cinema on West 13th Street has reopened. Checked the website but there hasn't been any updates.

The single thing all women need in the world is inspiration, and inspiration comes from storytelling.

Mar 17 @ 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm 
       

Join us for a screening of the Oscar nominated and Bergen International Film Festival winning The Hunting Ground, a 2015 documentary about the epidemic of sexual assault on campus and the disturbing extent to which university authorities go to cover it up. Stick around for discussion with other concerned women and men about the film and what we can do about the outrage it documents.

Hectic Schedule

It's been awhile since I posted. Family issues and schedule have been hectic. Battle with some sinuses myself. This weather has gotten many people sick. Cold one day, warm the next. El Nino in full force.

I have been writing and performing monologues. The theater project group at church performed a monologue called Collections on February 21st during Black History Month. A couple of weeks later, I was solo on a monologue titled The Prodigal Son and The Forgotten Daughter. The bible story is taken from the perspective of the unnamed and unknown daughter. I really enjoyed performing this.

A group of us are currently writing a piece for a monologue we will perform some time in June. I will fill you in on the details as they come. I'm involved another theater project call the Transgeneration  Theater Project. It's using theater and art to bring together different generations of transgender and gender non conforming people. It's wonderful meeting so many great young trans folks. There is one performance scheduled for April 2nd. Possibly another will happen on April 8th. Right now this is tentative.
