It's only February, but this year has come in with a full force!  I have been submitting to several opportunities and working towards my goals.  I have been praying to God that all my dreams come true.   So far it's been happening!
​
In January,  I traveled to El Paso to do some research for my play Fae and Paciencia.  I got the chance to see many sites and get a feel for the city.  This will help with rewrites!

Feb. 11th, I was asked to come and present at the 1st Annual Womyn of Color Retreat at Texas State University in San Marcos!  It was a beautiful experience and I got the chance to share writing with three dynamic groups of college women!  I am grateful to Sykller Walkes and Ms. Joni  Wilson for inviting me.  I am encouraged because the next generation of womyn is fierce and ready to change the world.

I am proud to announce that I am a Finalist for the Emerald Play Prize, a new biennial Prize to be awarded by the Seattle Public Theatre.  I am a finalist along with Emily Dendinger, Aurin Squire, Eric Pfeffinger and Shontina Vernon.  This is all so exciting!

I am grateful for all of the support that I have gotten over the past years!  You all keep me going.
