Her Culture Bi-Monthy Magazine July 2014 | Page 29

Q: How do you believe cultural awareness can change the world?

A: I think cultural awareness can bring greater understanding. In theater, you get to see through the eyes of people from different races and backgrounds. It teaches us about leadership, problem solving, goal-setting, new perspectives, understanding the human condition, perseverance, and so much more. 

Q: If you were to give words of empowerment to a reader of Her Culture, what would you say?

A: Never say "Can't." It's something my grandmother always taught me. Always try your best. Set your own personal goals and be open to viewing those goals from a new or different perspective. Have confidence in both yourself and what you believe in. Don't be afraid to be a leader!

"I enjoy the challenge of creating a character and moving an audience through words and music."
