Meet The Cast:Shywanee Gives Thanks:Through encouragement from family and friends and with the increasing knowledge that the topic of my book, Apology From One Sista' to Another, was one women across the country could relate to, it was suggested that I turn the book into a stage play. The stage play “Apology From One Sista' To Another†debuted at The Duncan Theatre in Chicago, IL. The stage play was designed also to further promote the book. I have also begun work on a Screenplay for my book. In March of 2006, I was a panelist of the How To Forgive and Let Go Seminar at the V103 Expo For Today's Black Woman. I was also a special guest on Zelda Robinson’s television show, Zelda Speaks, and a special guest on The Other Winfrey Show hosted by Earl Winfrey. I have also been chosen for Chicago’s 2007 Principal For A Day program arranged by Chicago’s Mayor Richard J. Daley and have been asked to bring Apology From One Sista’ To Another, the stage play, to the Chicago Public High Schools. The stage play has also been nominated for the 2006 Chicago Truth Awards “Best Stage Play†category. I continue to write and recite poetry, and am a noted spoken word artist who won a 106.3 (Call Letters) poetry contest and performed live on the station. I have also performed poetry at the UpNext! Show in Chicago, Prysmatic Dreams Poetry Show in North Carolina, the New Word Order Net Slams 2004, Spoken Word Café Poetry Live, Secrets and other locations throughout the Chicagoland area.
