1. MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS was your recent submission to The Baltimore Playwrights Festival. What is it about?
The play is about two successful African-American young males who were raised in the Church. The play does a deep dive into how they view their relationship with God and the choices they make based on their own perceptions of God and the Bible.
2. What inspired you to write MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS?
A sermon I heard from my Pastor.
3. At what point in writing the play did you identify the theme of the play, and what impact did that have on your play, if any?
After listening to the sermon and studying the notes, I began reflecting on my relationship with God: whether I was reading my Word daily and how much I was following His statutes and commandments to guide my life. It’s from there that the play developed.
4. Tell us about yourself.
I am an African American Christian female. Married for 21 years with 5 children. I am an educator for Baltimore City Public Schools (26yrs). I love movies, reading books, and cooking.
5. What are you working on now?
Revising MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS with the notes given and a modern version of the Book of Ruth.
6. What’s next for you?
More playwriting.
