New Work 2020
Not One of Us
The murder of George Floyd inspired my new work in progress, exploring the intersection of race, class, privilege and gender in my life. The work addresses systemic racism, including medical discrepancies.
At the moment, looks as if it will be a Trilogy! First completed part, (not likely Part 1, maybe a spinoff) about my experiences in medical school at Yale and abroad (Lagos, Nigeria), is up!
Audience Feedback from SF Premiere January 2021
Not One of Us (Medicine)
@ Playground Solo Performance Festival
"Mesmerizing!"
“Bold and Provocative.”
"Spectacular!” "Brilliant!" “Beautiful!”
"Loved and was so moved.” "Deft, spare." "Transporting." “Inspiring!”
"Thank you for an enchanting tale told brilliantly."
"I hope your performance gets broadcast to a much wider audience as such consciousness raising is necessary to enable more parity, trust and confidence between patients and doctors, healthcare & front line workers, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sex & gender preference, etc."
