I was born In The Bronx, New York and am a proud Canadian-American actress of Jamaican descent. The love for acting was curated at the age of six when I would perform “funny” character performances for my mom (the best audience member yet HAHA), the signature performance being my “drunken Santa” where I would go create bubbles and come back with them stuck on my face as a beard.
Why that was so funny, I dont know! but the fact that I had ONE ENGAGED and ENTERTAINED audience member meant the WORLDDD!
That is what powerful storytelling can do is take the hearts of everyone who resonates with the enveloping story at hand.
From there were our Sunday family talent shows where my mom, my sisters, and I would perform a piece and then my very biased mom (who often chose herself as the winner to be funny) then chose a winner. Those moments of my life were where I realized the love that can be transmuted with storytelling as well as the pure entertainment that happens from the involvement of everyone.
