I am a multi-facet performance artist grounded in devised theatre and Theatre of the Oppressed methodology.  I consistently create work to unlock emotional healing within artists, families and audiences. Ancestral knowledge and community histories guide my creative process.

I am the 2015-2016 Joan Yellen Horvitz Director Fellow, Cleveland Foundations 2020 Minority Arts Education Fund recipient, Akron Soul Train Award Recipient and CANN Triennial 2022 Artist in Residency.  The author of the oldest producing African American theatre in the country, Karamu House, social justice series Freedom on Juneteenth and Freedom After Juneteenth and Karamu's documentary "Rooted in Change: The impact of Karamu House, America’s oldest Black producing theatre". For 14 years I have served the community as an arts educator teaching theatre at Cleveland School of the Arts, Cleveland Public Theatre and most recently served as the Arts Education Manager for Karamu House. My commitment is to heal; myself, my family and therefore my community through the art of storytelling, somatic therapies and ancestral knowledge. 

Hosting workshops, classes, retreats and mentorship programs I advocate for creatives. Uncovering emotional and spiritual needs through the arts to create change within to see it outwardly.   The Asé Project is a body of experimental work that calls community members to come together, share, reflect, release and create while exploring our past and present so that we have hope for tomorrow.
