Why are you participating in the Lit From The Black! 2024 fellowship

I am called to participate in this fellowship because I am curious about learning about a variety of skills. I would love to learn from professionals that reflect experiences and feelings that I can relate to. I am motivated to learn about lighting, acting, directing, sound, stage managing, costume, scenic arts and so much more because I have been in creative environments that reflect all of these. Coming from a background of performing, submitting art and attending shows I have always wanted to learn more about how I can fully immerse myself into the arts. I find myself being inspired by nature, clothes, colors, foods and animals naturally. I would appreciate having the time to fully dedicate learning the valuable skills that will help to excel me creatively.
