About Me
My Beginnings
I'm a Black Indigenous comedian, actor, writer, producer, puppeteer. Born in Boston, MA. and raised between Boston and Mashpee (Indian Country), I've had the opportunity to live in and between three worlds: Being Black, Native and American. A lover of entertaining with a passion for Comedy. I love all things funny, and can still cry on demand with the best of them. I use comedy in all aspects of my art whether writing dramedies, my web-series Fk’d Up & Fabulous or the many scripts I've written. I believe a spoonful of laughter helps the message go down. I enjoy being behind the camera as much as in front, creating content, and working with the various groups, organizations and companies I've been affiliated with.
My Favorite Work
I’m a lover of live theater and feeling that audience connection. Some of my favorite performances: Fires in the Mirror by Anna Deavere Smith at the Actors Studio Drama School. Sketch- To Karen, With Love (Brooklyn), Grown Ass Women (UCB NY Maude Team), and Sheen the Musical, ( a sort of Grease parody which I created. Laughter is one of my favorite sounds.
My Life Today
I've had a great year so far!
While Brooklyn is always homebase, I've been away since January. I started out on tour with The Nosebleed, where we hit Minnesota, Los Angeles, and Ohio.
Then I went to Maine for My Story is Gluskabe, a beautiful Penobscot creation story.
Then I ended up in Boston for a full circle moment-- Twenty years after my first professional production, with Company One, in Kirsten Greenidge's 103 Within in the Veil, I performed as Mia in another of Greenidge world premier in Morning, Noon and Night.
And now holy smoke I'm performing at the famous Strand theatre in the fun loving show HOOPS!
Then I return home to NYC for a week of workshopping my musical, Sheen the muscial, at HB Studios, but not before a much needed birthday vacation... Stay tuned for pics!
