Melody Brooks was the first NYC producer to present my work in 1999 (STRAIGHT TALK AGAINST THE GRAIN)  in NPTC Voices from the Edge series.  In 2019, I invited her to moderate the post reading chat of my play DESTINATION OOH AHH YUMMY at Conch Shell New Works Reading Series.  Special thanks to Melody;  my mentors Paul Carter Harrison and Richard Harden; and an amazing community of funder, actors,  directors, and stage managers who have have supported my writing  journey.
