The Cussing Story
So, Question for all the Millenials in the room: Have your parents ever lied to you? Like right to your face? I know. You don’t wanna admit it cause you feel like they are hovering above your head right now and if you agree with me, ya gonna get slapped… Hell, I know in some households, saying the word lie would get you a Bad Boy smack…

Resilience in the Face of it ALL
Just like any human being occupying this giant rock we call "Mother Earth", there are a TON of things that come together to make up who I am. Life has presented DOZENS of challenges. I don’t know why, being born with the winning life combination: Black & Male with an LGBTQ Chaser. Add the fact that I’m originally from Englewood, Chicago: a neighborhood known for Jennifer Hudson, Gwendolyn Brooks, R. Kelly (ew), Jesse Jackson, Nat King Cole, Harold Washington (if any of these names sound unfamiliar, learn Black History), and people wonder why I’m not famous yet! Hell, I wonder myself sometimes.

Theatre Creates Change Vol. 2
Good Day, "Musical Mamis & Legit Lads"! This is your Artistic Endorser, D.C. With another entry from the DC Theatre Blog! Theatre continues breaks new ground in many ways; As a tool of self-discovery, allowing folks to grow as individuals, having had the experiences of another; As a means of reflection, as a performance, a scene or even a moment can connect as a representation of previous thoughts within one's own meander through life; As an inspirational muse pushing one to greatness or a mental challenge of the impossible, shown and proven. Take my own life as an example: As a young entertainer, I knew I wanted to become an established & well-respected professional artist. I also knew I had to work hard to get there, so I would double down and push hard in all situations... Sometimes to my detriment. People I've performed with will tell you with great certainty: I had the habits of Will Smith in his early days on the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air".
