This is not just a man crush Monday, but also a couple crush kind of day! These humans bring my joy and connect to my heart. Sometimes you meet people and immediately link as if you were always meant to be together. Thank you @brendonurie and @sarahurie for being you and sharing your love with me, I’m grateful for your friendship.

Having very nostalgic feelings today for the show that changed my life in every way. I will forever hold @kinkybootsbway in my heart in such a special way. 📸 @phillip_hamer_photography @themuny #kinkyboots #holdmeinyourheart #tbt #dassit The Muny
Talk about black history, this group of incredible and talented humans will forever be a part of rich legacy created by @theebillyporter. We got to strut in iconic boots around the world and change so many lives, that isn’t lost on me in any way. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, as a child I didn’t imagine living in the freedom I walk in today, let alone share in something so amazingly life changing. Thank you @kinkybootsbway @jammyprod @theharveyfierstein @cyndilauper @daryl_roth @rialtoguy @dbbonds @moweryrusty @steoremus for the factory that made boots to change the world! 📷: @bruglikas #blackhistory #blackboyjoy #legacy #lola #representationmatters #kinkyboots #dassit
Today we close for good, but the connections we have made will live on! @doubtfirebway has been a journey that has taught me so much, but mostly about love and how it can affect you! Thank you to every human who touched this special show and my life, I look forward to all that life has for all of us! “Wherever you go, whatever you do. A goodness will surely follow you, as long as there is love. Whatever you dream, whatever you choose. No matter the end, how can you lose? As long as there is love!” Mrs. Doubtfire on Broadway
New adventures on the horizon, and I can’t wait to share it with the world! Come check us out in the fall at The Shubert Theater! #SomeLikeItHotMusical #dassit
This is a picture of me preparing to audition for @amdaofficial in 2007. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into, choosing to move to New York to study musical theater; I simply saw a way out of North Carolina that seemed fun and felt right. Little did I know the fullness of freedom I would find.
My journey to today has been filled with experiences that expanded my vision of what life could be, freed me to see myself beyond my wildest dreams and continues to show me I have so much more to learn. When making choices in life, we may not know the full outcome, but stepping out on faith can lead to fulfillment and happiness.
That being said, there are also moments of turmoil and tribulation, which simply translate to growth. Don’t let the dark moments overwhelm you, but instead allow them to fortify you in truth and authenticity. No one can tell you who you are, your story is yours to experience and share. You are in control of your narrative.

Believe it or not, I didn’t take my first proper dance class until I moved to NYC at the age of 18. However, I’ve been moving and grooving for as long as I can remember. When I hear music, my body has got to move.
As a professional, I often struggled to own being a dancer because I felt I lacked the technique to claim being a dancer, but time and time again I’ve been given opportunities to show my moves.
Playing Velma Kelly @themuny was one of those moments I got to show myself I’m more than capable of rising to the occasion and using the gifts God has given me.
don’t know what my life would be without dancing and I hope to keep dancing for as long as this body will let me.
I hope you cut a step and groove to the music of life every chance you get.

The past six weeks have been filled with emotions, exploration, and evolution! This incredible group of humans joined forces to create, and the room always felt alive and filled with love and support. Thank you all for showing up in the fullness that you are and teaching me how to be my best self every day! I love each and every one of you from the depths of my heart. #somelikeithotmusical #nobodysperfect #takeitupastep #dassit
#wednesdaywindowworship In honor of @jessicareedymusic, who I’m pretty sure I spotted on the street yesterday, this came to my spirit today.
This has been in my heart to do for a while, just a moment to give a little worship at my favorite window in my apartment. I hope it encourages you today.

Happy Mother’s Day to my beauty inspiration and the woman who continues to teach me so much! Also sending so much love to all the mothers out there, those who have lost a mother or a child, those who want children and pour into other’s children in the meantime. People are mothers in different ways and I celebrate you all. #happymothersday #love #dassit
