This post has two parts to it.
POC Elphaba Roundtable
In all honesty, I am still trying to process last Saturday. What was supposed to be a one hour event ended up being two hours of me talking and listening to Dan'yelle Williamson, Maria Eberline, Patrice Tipoki, Sarah Anne Fernandez and Saycon Sengbloh talking about their Wicked experiences and the problems they have faced being women of color in the theatre industry. If you missed the POC Elphaba Roundtable, don't worry because it is now uploaded in its entirety of YouTube.
I am still in complete and utter disbelief that this happened. This was a huge honor and I cannot thank these women enough for giving me the opportunity to celebrate them. I learned so much from them and I am going to say this again I was honored to have been in their presence.
A New Life
If you know me, in any capacity, you know that I am all about evolving and learning. This year is no different from any other. Now please, don't take this the wrong way, but I am rather grateful for this pandemic. It has given me time to slow down, time to think, time to clear my head. Do not get me wrong, this pandemic has given me many struggles to overcome, but it also gave me something I feel that I didn't have; time. I was given time to move forward and time to heal (Mentally, physically and emotionally; healing is always a one step forward, two steps back kind of deal so it wasn't pretty). Throughout the pandemic I also realized so much about myself and who I want to be on both a personal level and artistic level. Just like me, this blog has evolved A LOT over the past 6 years and we're evolving once again.
Starting in 2021 there are going to be some major changes. I will be writing more reviews and more opinion pieces/brain candy. I am going to try and post at least once a month. I will also be starting my first ever podcast titled: Dear Diary where I will be doing interviews, watch alongs and all sorts of other cool things. I also have other projects that I'm currently working on so be on the look out! I love you all and cannot wait to take you on this new journey with me!
