It’s been a busy few months! Lots of travel, lots of shows, a Broadway-investing debut, family, friends, 10 years of freelancing. So very grateful for the people I get to share this life with. Bring on the fall y’all!

I can’t wait for the world to see this production. Previews start tomorrow! May 16 - June 3, 2023 At the Connelly Theater, NYC Tuesdays - Saturdays at 7pm ________________ @bushwickstarr is thrilled to partner with @jagproductionsvt and @oyegroup to present demons., a new Afro-Surrealist play written and directed by award-winning playwright Keelay Gipson. When the death of their patriarch draws family members home, they must reckon with grief and the haunting realities that death often brings to the surface. A surreal dark comedy, demons. is a meditation on the reality of getting older, of losing a parent, and that ever-elusive quest to exorcize the trauma a family passes down through the generations. FEATURING: @thedjf_ , @glitteringgold , @jomiray , @arshton , @gayle.samuels , and @veaseyville Set design by Yu Shibagaki, lighting design by @media_joo , sound design by @c.darbassie and puppet design by @cedwanhooks . Associate direction/costume design by Machel Ross. The director of puppetry is @jahbiggins . Casting is by The Bushwick Starr. 🖼 by @felixjacksonjr demons. is made possible in part by the @neaarts , New York Council of the Arts, and Venturous Theater Fund of the Tides Foundation. Production design support for demons. provided by the Edith Lutyens and Norman Bel Geddes Design Enhancement Fund, a program of the Alliance of Resident Theatres/New York (A.R.T./New York), @artny72 and @eveningsquire demons. was originally developed as part of JAGFest 2019 and @nysaf 2022 Summer Season at Marist College.

What a gorgeous morning to get another half marathon under my belt! The location may have been a bit different but I had a blast running the @brooklynhalfmarathon virtually, and even shaved five minutes off my target time. Thanks to @sgerk for joining for a mid-race hang, and to @haymoyhay, @mrseanstewart, and @alixewardstewart for the finish line celebration. I couldn’t have done it without you! #brooklynhalfmarathon #halfmarathon #astoriapark #running #halfmarathoner
If I’ve learned anything in this life, it’s that a birthday spent in #NOLA is guaranteed to be a good time. So grateful to everyone who came out to help me celebrate. This is going to be a big year, watch this space!
