I am an actress writer poet playwright educator..a layered woman beautifully flawed with facinating imperfections in all the right places...really human, really brilliant and my passion for art that inspires is collossal...life is my inspiration. i have appeared in many films "Love The Hard Way" (alongside academy award winner Adrian Brody), had a featured cameo in Spike Lee's "Bamboozled", Mark Levin's "Slam" (alongside Saul Williams and Sonja Sohn), filmed "A Drop of Life" about the international water crisis and spent two amazing weeks in the desert in India working alongside Ndita Das, appeared in Jamie Catto's international film soon to be released "What About Me" alongside Tim Robbins, Depak Chopra, Carlos Santana and others. Appeared on HBO's Def Poetry two different seasons, performed my poetry on PBS's popular children show "Between the Lions" alongside puppets (i love puppets as Jim Henson the quintessential puppetmaster and i were born on the same day!!!)And i worked in the prison system for over a decade teaching poetry, life skills and creative writing to incarcerated adolescents.
I have written numerous plays including two One Woman Shows: "Chiron's Homegirl Healer Howls" a One Woman Funk Opera, and my latest baby "The Peculiar Patriot" which has toured adult (male and female) penitentiaries across the country in 2005, 2006 and 2007 ongoing. The Peculiar Patriot also did an 11 show/multiple facility tour of Rikers Islad exclusively in 2003 and 2004. Baby girl has put in work. My performances have also been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art as well as too many venues in NYC to name (including the late CBGB's Gallery...rip!!!).
