    I was at yr Tate show. You had huge audience! Young, black, white. Keep going. Keep writing. yr audience out there waiting.

  6. I'm gunna stop ranting now. I guess since now I have time to breathe after all these shows im processing how I navigated them

  7. U know how many people after my show at the Tate asked what art school I went too? Couldn't comprehend that I didn't go through their paths

  8. I quit the theatre groups I was in. Didn't apply to theatre school. Started making my own nights / art. Because the roles didn't exist.

  9. And I have no regrets. I enjoy the path I'm creating for myself, but the whiteness did stop me from perusing a traditional route to theatre.

  10. The worst part I found whilst being involved in theatre is the silence around it. No theatre companies want to address their whiteness?

  11. Not that my work is theatre, but it does beg that question, when theatre is so white. So cis. So middle class: how can I exist within it?

  12. asked in an interview the other day "so why are you making your own work?" And the quickest answer was: where are ppl like me in theatre?

  13. Sum1 take the webcam away

  14. got bored doin' work.

  15. Someone filmed my performance of my Poem that is in the BYP anthology.
