4 years ago I performed a one-man show titled Frozen Borders. It was my way of honoring the people, especially the children, who had been locked up in cages at the US southern border, and calling attention to their plight. It was also my first time undertaking a solo creative endeavor of this magnitude. The set was designed by the incredible Margie McDonald (thank you for the inspiration), but the rest was on my shoulders. It was terrifying and invigorating. Other than the teary reading I gave at my grad school commencement back in July, it's been some time since I touched a stage. And since my move to NYC, my writing and voice and creativity haven't received much energy. But this event popping up on my timeline is a powerful reminder that there's a lot I can do with those tools beyond social media posts. It also reminds me that gifts that go unused are wasted, and I don't want to waste a thing. All of that to say, time to get back to work. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoQBYVnOOih/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
