"Characterization, conversation so convincing - I couldn't maintain intellectual distance,

I kept thinking I was eavesdropping." ~ Dr. Carolivia Heron

I'm a commissioned playwright with Plowshares Theatre Company, producing Artistic Director, Gary Anderson. Plowshares Theatre Company is one of the oldest continuous nationally recognized African American theatre companies and is recognized as Michigan’s only professional African American theatre company. A theatre that offers a true off-Broadway experience, Plowshares has been the alternative voice in metro Detroit’s performing arts community, with the kind of entertaining, and diverse productions that has made it a favorite among discerning patrons.

I'm also the recipient of several international playwriting honors and awards. My award winning plays include: Nothing to Lose (finalist 2018 Bay Area Playwrights, former finalist in the Black and Latino Playwrights Conference) Sistah Girl, Masquerade Parade, Ring the Bell, My Soul is a Witness (winner of ECTC playwriting competition), The Last Day, In the Realm of Shadows, Chasing Forever, Peace Declared, A Real Black Comedy and This Joy, (a former finalist in both The Lark and the Eugene O’Neill National Playwrights competition). I'm also a screenwriter and a former recipient of the AJJAP award for screenwriting.

My work as a playwright is grounded in the African American experience and explores the intersection of race, class and identity and its impact on memory, personal integrity and family. I strive to create relatable, flawed and complex characters within multi-layered stories. My work also provokes deeper discussion from the audience.
