In March 2020, my community went into strict lockdown as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. I, and many other artists, creatives and performers, lost work we were excited about and had been financially counting on. May brought back the first tentative steps in theatre and film from a few individuals and companies. I missed doing the work I wanted to do. So, jumping into the deep end of filmmaking with both ignorant feet, I decided to make my own short film.

Actress Nadia Sine met with me over Zoom in the Stay-at-home social distancing of 2020 to talk with me about being a black actress in the predominantly white theatre industry. I really wanted to have this conversation, one-on-one to help me process as I look at what I can do and should do and will do about institutional racism in my own theatre community.
