Come check out what we’re conjuring in Philly, the world premiere of my play: PLANTATION BLACK. The story of a place. Of a family. And what happens when we confront the past with eyes wide open.
Now playing until March 1st!
Tix: /plantationblack
Get to the show 20 minutes before to see where the play starts with a barrel spin, an unconventional style in order to mimic the non chronological way we learn history, especially family history. Six different beginnings, six different endings, told by six immensely talented actors.
**I intentionally wrote this in a way where there is no portrayal of physical violence or use of racial language against Black bodies.**

Spending today and tomorrow volunteering to canvas for the #HarrisWalz campaign with Pennsylvania Democrats.
I am feeling so inspired and hopeful being surrounded by people who want a better future for America. There is still time to volunteer locally (and believe me, it is soothing the anxiety I have been feeling about this election.) Want to volunteer by canvassing or driving folx to the polls, check out mobilize.us

So incredibly honored to spend a week on Mount Desert Island, Maine thanks to @interacttheatreco to work on my play PLANTATION BLACK. My heart is so full with the great company, great work and great lobster. #lobstahlab2023
So proud to stand in solidarity with my fellow writers. We danced, we shouted, we celebrated each other. We are creators, we are collaborators, and we are human beings that deserve fair wages. One one of favorite signs said it best “No more intellectual sharecropping.” We are asking for a fair wage, that’s all. HAPPY JUNETEENTH YA’LL!
Special thanks to all the fellow unions that showed up to support, and for all the truck drivers, taxi drivers, bus drivers and folx who supported us by honking.
