A few weeks ago I was at Camp Realize Your Beauty with my @rybnyc family. It's always a significant and precious time that I am so happy I get to be a part of. This year was extra special as we were so delighted and grateful to have Lisa Kennedy write a lovely article, and Shelby Knowles capture the time with our campers so wonderfully for the @nytimes ! 🎉😊🤩💜💜💜🌟 "Joy Whisperer" 🥹😭☺️ And the Denver Post! *** My BFA Fam...I had to pull a lil inspiration from my Soggy Circus for Spoiling Sushi 😂🤣 #realizeyourbeauty #rybnyc #youthempowerment #theaterforsocialchange #selfesteem #confidence #beautifulsouls #innerbeauty #selfcare #selflove #bodypositive #support #celebration #lovethyself #kindness #joy #selfexpression #teachingartist #artseducation #theyaresomuchbetterthanus #andiloveit #sillyships #joywhisperer

It's over 70° in New York, and the sun said I got you even though you're inside at rehearsal, and the lint on your fivehead is trying to be center stage. #feelinmyself #blackgirlfly #brownskin #youknowiloveyoubrownskin #actor #blackactor #blacktress #theatre #theatererrday #rarenonsmilingphoto #fiveheadlint #why #butwhynot #chillinwithnomakeupon #insomnia #eyeluggage #eyebrowsintheraw #resplendent #iworshipthesun #sunbaby

I actually tried to take a human people person picture that was somewhat normal with zero success, so here's this... TIS TIME.

What a journey! Thank you to Erin and this team for this play that allows for a real and raw exploration of grief and family dynamics.  It’s going to be strange not spending so much time together with this cast that grew very close.  I’m going to miss the ridiculous singing, the smooth dance moves, the clowning (so many of our love language), the deep talks, the exploration of self and the supported growth, so much good food, birthday harmonies, hella guffaws and giggles, the wenis love…I could go on and on. 💃🏿😝🥰🤗 **Not only did Erin gift us this beautiful play, but at the same time she released her debut novel, JACKAL! I highly suggest you buy and read it!** 📚 I am deeply invested in this play that hits very close to home, and so proud to be a part of the team that had the privilege of bringing this to the stage! We really jumped into this one with our hearts and souls. 💜💜💜 INK'DWELL, written by the brilliant Erin E. Adams and directed by Tabatha Gayle at 59E59 Theaters With Tai Lashaun , Britney Nicole Simpson, Cherene Snow, Landon G. Woodson, and me! Part of New Light Theater Project ’s 2022 New Light New Voices Fall Festival and winner of the 2020-2021 New Light New Voices Award, INK'DWELL is a poetic look at grief and how love lives on.

I had the honor of spending the last week at @ojaiplays working on Running While Black 🏃🏿‍♀️ by the incredible @jahnafs , directed by the talented @treynold , SMed by @that_sm_life , and supported by intern @ccrrraaaiiiggg I met so many lovely people,  and enjoyed watching and listening to so many creative humans all week! 🌌 My time out there was full of energy, and I think I came back a little different than before.🌌 Meteor showers, supermoons, late night convos, elephants, readings, and so much more... 🌠🐘🌕✨️♍️ Grateful. Enjoy this very random photo dump (some of these pics are from other peeps as I failed at documenting) #actor #actorlife #blackactor #blacktress #theatre #theatererrday #community #blackjoy #joy #newplay #newplaydevelopment #runningwhileblack #playreading #workshop #nature #ojaiplaywrightsconference #ojaivibes #playwrights #doingwhatilove #stillsuprisedeveryday #grateful #imnotstuck #stunningrelease
