So, what do you do when you are accepted to perform for a sold-out theater? You blow the doors off. With a seamless fusion of visual and performing arts, we brought the house to its feet, not once, but twice, with two rousing standing ovations.

A HUGE thank-you to choreographer Sharon Simmons Wright and the extraordinarily gifted women of the AFRO Dance Company. Zachary Robinson with the spoken word and Derek Wright. The power, artistry, and talent they bring to the stage are nothing short of extraordinary. It has been a tremendous honor to collaborate with these remarkable artists and to witness what happens when like-minded art forms come together in such a powerful way.
