#mediaofhopeproject #project1voice Erich McMillan-McCall, the founder of Project1Voice has honored me by including Excellence Happens in his yearly project, 1Voice1Play1Day. Not only had this presented me with opportunity, but this new relationship brought me inspiration and his beautiful views life taught me a much needed lesson: seeing the world and everyone in it with a much different perspective which is more constructive and productive. Not seeing the world view through rose colored glasses, but viewing the reality as an opportunity to create a better world. I'm happy to share this exciting event Project1Voice will be holding which honors others who focus on empowerment.

'For Colored Girls' Choreopoem Scheduled for Monday at ASFA

Project1VOICE, a national organization aimed at promoting African-American theater and playwrights through innovative initiatives and community engagement, is teaming up with AIDS Alabama for a dramatic re-telling of the popular Ntozake Shange adult-themed classic 'For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf'. The presentation takes place on Monday, June 16 at the Dorothy Jemison Day Theater at the Alabama School of Fine Arts (ASFA).

The staged reading will be executed by actresses and women from various walks of life as they address the issues of HIV, stigma, domestic violence, sexual health and a number of other important issues. The cast will include actresses Angela Crenshaw, Caprenia Anthony, Donna Todd and Delores Byrd-Smith, along with Federal Court judge Sharon Blackburn, radio personality Tasha Simone, spoken word artist Shaunteka Curry, community activist Debra Richardson, Birmingham Civil Rights Institute interim CEO Priscilla Hancock Cooper, CEO of YWCA Central Alabama Yolanda Sullivan and many others.

“The purpose of this event is to give voice to women and issues that are happening in our community everyday—but rarely discussed openly,” says Dafina Ward, Chief Prevention Officer at AIDS Alabama. “To end HIV/AIDS, we must address substance use, domestic violence, mental health and so many other challenges. This piece includes all of that, and also the victories when women overcome these struggles. This cast of women has embraced 'For Colored Girls' as their own personal story. And that alone is powerful.”

The event will include a pre-show reception at 6:00 p.m. hosted by The Ballard House Project.  Showtime takes place at 7:30 p.m. and will be directed by Jacqueline Lockhart. Admission is a minimum donation of $10 at the door.

For more information, go to aidsalabama.org or project1voice.org.
