Founder of the DC Theatre Community Care page.
The page was created to try to relieve some of the struggles we're all going through. This mutual aid page is ran with the understanding that we will all give when we can and take when we need. I acknowledge asking for help isn't an easy thing to do, giving help is one of the things we all take joy in doing. The goal it to encourage asking for help more, and receiving it. The group centers around the DC Theatre Community specifically. It's not to trivialize the needs of others, but rather work together to build this specific community up. So that we may learn each other beyond the art we are creating, so that we may come to know one another beyond whatever recognition we each already have as individuals. There is power in numbers, and I believe truly that as a collective the DC Theatre Community has more power than can ever be put into words. |

It was the idea that a young woman could lose her life in the midst of doing such important work. The idea that the same community she fought for could so easily miss the danger she was fighting. Her story followed me into my dreams, her memory marched beside me in the streets and her fight trailed behind me, craving change." |
THE SOSU SERIES
“It’s time to speak out about injustice. It’s time to speak up in solidarity”
The SoSu Series creates a space to highlight the work of Black, Indigenous Women (cis and trans) and Non-Binary People of Color working in the DC Theater scene through a sequence of video interviews. The artists interviewed will talk about their personal artistic ventures while also engaging in conversations around the untold struggles of being a Woman or Non-Binary in an industry that often directly neglects, mishandles and silences them.
