What Art Means to Me…
I am an artist who breathes new life into all kinds of characters and stories. I am not limited to or defined by the color of my skin and the racial pitfalls it may manifest in the perception of an audience, but I am desired because of my professionalism, skill-set, and passion for performing. I envision myself setting the bar of excellence in performance at such a level that young people who witness desire to achieve it.
