i am from His thought first here by purpose not chance even though mama say at 38, “you were a great surprise i thought i was through.” i am from fall colors and ivy league halls from being the youngest but loudest of all. i am from north where sounds of blackness were muted the only one, eleven years didn’t know i was black until north went south. i am from the land of cotton tobacco. i am from question: "Why you talk like that?" to answer: "i do not know how to talk black i only learned English" i am from trying to fit in to feeling left out from believing the hype of what “blackness” is about. i am from sister, daughter, mother, wife but still a girl dealing with life. i am from peaceful skies that want to serve to loving man when undeserved. i am from African roots and Cherokee trails a culture that created a women that say, “Please don’t touch my hair!” i am from momma’s womb a studio of sorts if you please cause momma’s are the only ones to create priceless works of art who think, feel, and breath. i am from His thought first here by purpose not chance.Below are some pictures of my one woman show Hot Comb: Brandin' One Mark of Oppression which I wrote and performed in at Pillsbury House Theatre in Minneapolis, MN. I am dreaming big and I know one day it will be produced in NY, Chicago, LA, Atlanta, DC and many other theatres around the country. Look out for it. It's a pretty cool show that won an Ivey Award. It deals with Black woman and their hair polictics.
