WRITING & ORIGINAL WORKS
ANANSI THE SPIDER, a silly yet serious adaptation of Anansi and the Sky God, follows Anansi the human who lives today in 2023, as they journey with their namesake, Anansi the Spider, to discover the story of their name. This play invites us to bring the story of Anansi the Spider into the present, collaborate with our history and to be silly and joyous. It invites us to be clever and resilient and to allow our past to live within us and fuel us. And it invites us to be proud of who we are and where we come from, as we become our own Givers of Story.

The Future's Footprint is a digital "shop" launch where you can step into the shoes of the Black women who have made today possible. This Instagram Story offers insight into a minute of history featuring Harriet Tubman, Ma Rainey, Black Feminists (particularly in the 1970s), Mae Jemison, Serena Williams, and Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris. Only a fraction of changemakers and innovators are captured within this post. Knowing this, I challenge you to step into the shoes of these women and any woman that you admire, and to ask yourself, what can we carry forward from them and what footprint are you leaving behind?
