Listen to Daddy
Have you ever lived in someone’s shadow? My story is one of exactly that, except it wasn’t just anybody’s shadow, it was the touring shadow of my father, a Pittsburgh legend. Through growth, prayer and transparency, I’m finally finding my own voice, but I will never forget where I’ve come from. Where I came from was tough and challenging. Through it all, daddy has been my guide. I can’t wait to tell you the story of finally stepping out from behind daddy and into my own journey.

Escaping The Shame
Shameless is the perfect word to describe the telling depiction of my journey through shame and sorrow to healing. My world comes to an unexpected halt when I find myself pregnant during my senior year of college. What should have been a joyful experience of bringing life forth into this world, turns on its head the moment I step into the welfare office. I can’t wait to share my story with you.

A Whole Lotta Life
My monologues is one of joy at the end of a dark rainbow. After experiencing abuse, grief, and chronic illness, I made the decision to shift my mindset. I was determined to take back my heart, my health, and my healing to make a better life for myself and my daughter. My monologue shares my journey from simply surfing through life to riding the wave and thriving.

The Rainbow in the Storm
My monologue is a true testament to the statement that joy and pain are like sunshine and rain. My pregnancy was one of duality. In full-blown labor at only 19 weeks, I had no idea my unexpected blessing would turn into a real life nightmare with a rainbow at the end of a seemingly dark storm.
