My artistic journey began with my first performance at 7 where I debuted my first song, Forever We’ll Learn. It was for the Stay in School Concert, an annual summer event that happens at the rear of the Brooklyn Museum. From then on I’ve sought out opportunities that would provide me the exhilaration of an audience’s attention. I studied dance at the same age until 12. I attended performing arts school Brooklyn High School of the Arts as a vocal and musical theatre major while doing productions with the Brooklyn Children’s Theatre. Most of our shows were of classic musicals such as Hairspray, Legally Blonde, and Drowsy Chaperone which I graciously played the lead for. I sought to follow that thrill into college where I studied Theatre and Performance and Global Black Studies in which I graduated with my greatest accomplishment, The Origins of La Diablesse. It is my final project that acknowledges my roles as producer, screenwriter, editor, and co-director whilst intertwining practices of theatre production and traditional storytelling.

In adolescence, I was that girl who found a thrill in entertaining others, had it be just imitations or an impromptu lip sync session. The seeds of my talent were scattered and planted long before even knowing what was happening when its sprouting took place. I stem from a singer as my mother, a drummer as my father, a brother of his who’s a dancer, and a calypsonian as my grandfather. I like to think their calling to the arts was embroidered into my destiny. They are all native Grenadians who came to America for a larger opportunity in their artistic pursuits.The hardships they’ve encountered amidst their passion was so inspirational-- shared journeys that told me being true to yourself and following that truth won’t be easy but it will be worthwhile; the greatest fulfillment and accomplishment one could ever taste.

I must say that it was my role as Timoune in my high school senior year performance of Once On This Island ‘17, that brought me to the realization being: a culture close to my own can aspire to reach any stage, even Broadway. So I’ve set out continuing to create stories centered on different lenses that make up the diverse Black diaspora through accessing commendable scholarship and utilizing my dramaturgical skills to preserve our experiences. I aim to have an anthropological take, presenting people as they are and hope to be a part of this new wave in the arts where oversimplifying and stereotyping is old news. I want to specialize in diving into peoples’ beliefs, behaviour, values, practices, ideologies within the social organization of human groups that allows them to function.
