WOMEN WHO INSPIRE
“Music is the universal language. People can experience love, joy and
respect through melodic tunes,” Casey said.
Through the years, Casey has received a number of awards, including
Beyond Inspiration Art LLC’s Valentine’s Expressions of Love Award,
and she was named the first Martin Mathews Arts Advocate of the Year
in St. Louis.
She is the St. Louis network leader of the National Association of
Black Female Executives in Media and Entertainment, which will
present her first one-woman show, “It’s Not A Man’s World,” April 6 at
St. Louis’ Mahler Ballroom.
“I think it’s very timely for women who are trying to survive in the
entertainment business,” she said. “It’s funny, heartfelt stories about me.
Believe me, I have been through some stuff.
“Women rock when mountains are crumbling, rivers are raging and
no one gives a helping hand. That goes for any woman of any age and
any color,” Casey said. “Women have purpose - they are jewels.”
