Juicy Theatrics
I was first introduced to the magic of storytelling by my grandma. As her namesake, I feel that it is my divine purpose to take up the torch and proceed in the purpose of playwriting.
My style of storytelling is rooted in highlighting the intersectionality of Black existence through sci-fi and satire, with an emphasis on the history and evolution of Southern culture.
