About Me

I am a CBC who can be an ABC who suffers from OCS. I love to travel and have been around the world from Iceland to Timbuktu. I have been known to be humorous from time to time. A am also super sensitive, super silly, super caring...too organized for my own good...uber goofy, ridiculously passionate, intense, determined, emotional, moodified, and dorky but mostly...just a Cool Black Chick. When I want something, I get it. It's that simple. Nobody's gonna give you shit. When I want to do something, I do it. Nobody's gonna do shit for you. My two mottos are: No Day But Today! and Say what you mean and mean what you say! Can't go wrong with those!
I love Musical Theater. I took the scenic route but I am now on course on my journey to the stage....outta the starting gate and approaching the first mile marker.
Three of my favorite shows are RENT , The Color Purple ,and WICKED , all of which I have seen too many times to count..in various cities...and continents.
My Dream Roles :
Joanne in The RENT, one of the Church Ladies in Color Purple, Gary Coleman in Avenue Q, Paradice in Brooklyn, Galinda's one Black friend in Wicked, Homeless Lady in A New Brain, Doo Wop girl in Little Shop of Horrors.

My Interests



TRAVEL!!! I have been to Greece, India, West Africa (6 weeks:Ghana to Burkina Faso to Mali...all the way to Timbuktu), Guatemala, Honduras, The Netherlands, St. Barth's, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland,Germany,Switzerland UK. I am a typical OCS sufferer who doesn't like to sit still for long!
MUSICAL THEATER . I simply love the theater...I always have. It just took me a few years to pursue it as more than a theater-goer so I am. It's fun and I can't wait to be on stage. My current faves: WICKED (slept outside on the ground i the Winter for 26 hours to see Idina Menzel's last performance in London!, Color Purple, In The Heights (don't sleep on this show..it's AMAZING!), and last but not least...The RENT.
