Sometimes the universe forces us to choose between who the world tells us we are supposed be and who we know we are supposed to be. When you get to this precipce in life, I believe this is the place where things really start to get fun! I met Jennifer Paz over 15 years ago on the North American tour of Miss Saigon. Since then, there have been many twists and turns that have gratefully allowed us to cross paths. As POC citizens of America, Jen and I align on the power and need for equalization. For both of us, this journey came to light with our dissatisfaction with the performing arts community and the blatant favoritism that saturates its broken systems. Whether because of color or sex, it is quite clear that the structure of the performing arts community needs a drastic shift and we are both here to talk about it.
