Today we continue our journey listening to and uplifting Black
Creative Voices. This is an ongoing series where we interview
black artists about their work, challenges and dreams. This
episode features incredible Philadelphia-based actor, makeup

communities and the film she produced as a love letter to her
dad, "Small and Mighty"


• how to navigate including black stories within your work


• playing a conservative black woman in the lead role of a play
produced by an all-white team which featured the first
predominately black cast at the theater where Grace Kelly got her
start


• clout-chasing and false wokeness vs inclusive storytelling -how
to be a good ally through your transparency, understanding, and
actions


• her family meeting and spending time with Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr.

strive for in 2021 and beyond
