I was born and bred in Harlem New York, by way of Sugar Hill. I am a trained actor, stage manager, activist & advocate, student, pro-Black, womanist, Spelmanite, environmental advocate, Pan-African enthusiast and so much more!

I began advocacy work at a young age, thanks to my mother. She was very vocal about our history and the long resilient story of our people. She & my father instilled pride and strength into me and by the age of 6 I was holding homemade signs campaigning for Obama. 

My journey as an artist went hand in hand with my advocacy (as it often goes.) I began acting at 8 years old and was given the familial name of "drama queen" long before that.

I first attended Statement Arts in Washington Heights and went on to continue my training at Harlem School of the Arts. From the age of 12  I honed my creative skills. I was a scholarship recipient for over 5 years, practicing acting, stage managing, lighting design, screen writing, set design and so on.

I also had the incredible opportunity to be apart of Legacy Arts Ensemble where I was able to perform & learn using West African knowledge. It was in this space I learned about my culture and family across the sea. With this company I learned West African dances, songs, foods, cultures and rhythms.
