About Me
My Beginnings
I'm a Black Indigenous comedian, actor, writer, producer, puppeteer. Born in Boston, MA. and raised between Boston and Mashpee (Indian Country), I've had the opportunity to live in and between three worlds: Being Black, Native and American. A lover of entertaining with a passion for Comedy. I love all things funny, and can still cry on demand with the best of them. I use comedy in all aspects of my art whether writing dramedies, my web-series Fk’d Up & Fabulous or the many scripts I've written. I believe a spoonful of laughter helps the message go down. I enjoy being behind the camera as much as in front, creating content, and working with the various groups, organizations and companies I've been affiliated with.
My Favorite Work
I’m a lover of live theater and feeling that audience connection. Some of my favorite performances: Fires in the Mirror by Anna Deavere Smith at the Actors Studio Drama School. Sketch- To Karen, With Love (Brooklyn), Grown Ass Women (UCB NY Maude Team), and Sheen the Musical, ( a sort of Grease parody which I created. Laughter is one of my favorite sounds.
My Life Today
I've had a great year! I currently reside in Brooklyn with my two sons and our dog. I'm gearing up to do a week in Boston, for a new play development Kill the Magistrate by Abbey Fenbert, with Boston University at the end of November, playing a member of the Wampanoag tribe, which I grew up with. Then I'm excited to go on tour with the New York Times critic pick's The Nosebleed by Aya Ogawa. I've started Starlight Performing Arts a program that I plan to partner with schools, organizations and students looking for an outlet or to get into programs that will get them ready and provide resources for a career in the entertainment business.
