PERFORMING ARTIST
As a cultural ambassador with the U.S. Department of State, I wrote, produced, curated and performed in programs that told the American story through the lens of African American musical culture. I am a dancer, singer and actor with performances in theatre, movies, TV, print ads, voice-overs and commercials. Acting performances have included theatre and film with critical acclaim on stages in New York City and Chicago. My background also includes decades of dance training and performing – and I am currently thrilled to appear before crowds of 20,000+ as a Chicago Bulls Swingin’ Senior Dancer. I also travel the world as a resident-artist and small ensemble and big band vocalist with performances that focus on America’s classical music – jazz and blues. I am a proud member of SAG/AFTRA.

MENTORS
DR. BARBARA
SIZEMORE
Educator · Activist · Author
“The cry of the ghetto is being heard by a nation with its fingers in its ears.”
Dr. Barbara A. Sizemore was a powerhouse educator and activist who believed that regardless of socio-economic background, all children had the ability to learn and grow academically. Early on, she embraced the nexus between the arts and intellectual development, and was a proponent of arts and education initiatives. My third-grade teacher, she anchored me through family struggles, and became a mentor and champion. I learned these values from her and have applied them to my arts integration work with diverse populations.
