I’ve experienced a lot of racism over the course of my career. The underlying message is “You don’t belong here. You are not important.” It’s hurtful and it’s not true.

I’m still here and doing it! I love acting. I’m curious, open and playful. I’m loving first. I think this is a massive accomplishment.

It’s an honour, joy and privilege. I take it seriously and I celebrate it. Storytellers have the unique power to shape public perceptions and attitudes. A persuasive story can inspire change, inform and reflect. I love acting, playing and helping others discover their best selves.
