#50in50letterstooursons

About earlier today...I attended the #50in50LettersToOurSons presented by @billieholidaytheatre held @wacotheater this afternoon. I, along with 49 other Sistas, were chosen to have ALL 50 letters we have written to our Black sons read this weekend. It's one to write it and it's a totally different experience to hear and see the words, your words cometl to life. #XoshaRoquermore @margaretshugavery @ettappw @keenastar @phyllisyvonnestickney @juanitajennings912 #ElayneTaylor and @kisha_may (whom I was just beyond moved to hear you say my piece, which I thank you 🙏🏽) while @maritrimusic serenaded us like the songstress she is, gave such light and love to these letters. These potent, powerful, funny, honest, gut wrenching words composed these letters to our Black sons today had me feeling ALL the feelings. And it wasn't just because these Queens are names and faces we know, love, respect and admire from film, television and theatre. It was because of the pure joy poured into each piece with its different literary styles, voices, tones and textures of the letters about all of Black sons, whether we birthed them, or not. They are ours and and we love them all was the message I walked with this afternoon in which I moved beyond any words could express. So all I can say is thank you ALL for speaking such life and truth into our words. And thank you @domorisseau for deeming me worthy to call myself #Playwright, even if it's for a day, or 2. 🙏🏽❤🎭 #50in50LettersToOurSons #Playwright #Poet #Writer #Actor #LeadingLady #SeriesRegular #RecurringRole #GuestStar #WorldwideName #Theatre #RegionalTheatre #Broadway #NationalTour (at WACO Theater Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9dpzIGpCGX/?igshid=71d99trdswkx
