Sometimes, when going for auditions, there aren’t private areas to warm up. Tonite I had to warm up in the hallway. Forgive the mistakes. I was trying to decide what song I should sing for my audition. This is one is my faves.

I got the opportunity to sing the song that started it all, “I’m Here”, once again on stage! This song has been with me for almost two years; it’s where this journey started. “I’m Here” put so many things in perspective for me that I am so grateful for.
Thank you @phoenixredbank for the opportunity; Thank you @njactperryawards for the recognition. Thank you @xoxomary_1218 for telling me your story and how much “I’m Here” meant to you. I will never forget you. May you rest in Heaven.
Color Purple cast I love y’all endlessly. We truly are friends FOREVER. Thank you for accepting me into the family. (I want to do the show again!)
Lastly, thank you @scottjarrod . You brought abilities out of me that I didn’t know I had. You forced me to tap into areas I had never thought of or journeyed to before. Thank you for your guidance, understanding, knowledge, and encouragement.
This is only the beginning!
LOOK WHAT GOD HAS DONE!

Decided to make new memories for Mother’s Day this year. My mom told me she had dreams about me singing on a big stage in front of lots of people. To say her dreams have come true is an understatement. I believe I am living in an “Eyes haven’t seen; Ears haven’t heard” era that only God can orchestrate. I prayed and asked God to combine my needs and my desires (that are in His will of course) and He has done JUST THAT! Every single day of my life I am learning to trust Him even more because He’s always got me.
I am living my mother’s dream for me, and walking in the gift God placed in my life. There’s no stopping me now.
🙏🏾🤘🏾🫶🏾🤎

Beyond grateful for the opportunity to perform at the @fultontheatre in this production of #Hairspray. This was a journey/process for me, to say the least. I could not have made it without this particular group of people. Thank you to this incredible cast, hair, wardrobe, stage managers, choreographer and our director. Thank you so much for this opportunity. I would have never known what I could do if I hadn’t been here.
Lastly, thank you to all my friends and family that made the trip down here to see the show!! (More pics coming!).
Quick break and then we get to do it again in MAINE!! Maine State Music Theatre!! #MSMT @mainestatemusic
