- About: I was born into the Grand Rapids theater community, appearing in my first play at 6 weeks old. (6 Rms Riv Vu, Circle Theatre, 1975) I currently work as Administrative Assistant for Ebony Road Players, a Grand Rapids theater company whose mission is to inspire, educate and engage cultures of our community with high-quality theater productions focused on the Black experience. I also work occasionally as a stagehand with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) Local 26, and I help out at the Wealthy Theatre in the box office.
I have a background in activism as well, and have been involved in local campaigns supporting justice for workers, prisoners, gender and sexually non-conforming people and people of color, and against environmental destruction, war and structural violence.
