I'm thrilled to be playing the role of 'Rachel' in the staged reading of CADILLAC CREW, a play written by Tori Sampson, which reflects on the importance of black women in the fight for equality and asks us to consider the implications of their erasure from past and present movements.

There will be 2 readings of CADILLAC CREW: February 12 at 7:30pm (Roble Hall, Stanford) and February 13 at 7pm (NOHspace). Both readings are $Free.99 (pay what you can) and open to the public so come out and explore with us!

These readings are a part of the Playwright Foundation's Rough Reading Series where exceptional new works that push into new theatrical territory, challenge assumptions, and present deeply felt dilemmas within our culture and world society are read for an intimate audience.

Recy Taylor (pictured above), a 24-year-old African-American mother and sharecropper, was gang raped by six white boys in 1944 Alabama. Common in Jim Crow South, few women spoke up in fear for their lives. Not Recy Taylor, who bravely identified her rapists.

The crime was extensively covered in the black press and an early catalyst for the civil rights movement.

Please join me in honoring Recy Taylor's legacy by attending a very special screening of The Rape of Recy Taylor and discussion hosted by Felicia Horowitz and GLIDE in honor of Black History Month.

Date & Time: Saturday, February 10, 2018 | 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM

To RSVP, please click here.  All guests MUST be registered to attend. ,

Hope to see you there,

FILM SYNOPSIS: Recy Taylor, a 24-year-old black mother and sharecropper, was gang raped by six white boys in 1944 Alabama. Common in Jim Crow South, few women spoke up in fear for their lives. Not Recy Taylor, who bravely identified her rapists. The NAACP sent its chief rape investigator Rosa Parks, who rallied support and triggered an unprecedented outcry for justice.
