“My love for storytelling came a lot later. It wasn’t until college. I started reading these beautiful plays and watching these beautiful movies and really understanding the impact that actors and storytellers can have on this world, not only in affecting and changing it but in creating this relatability. It’s a safe place for people. That was my introduction to new literature. It built this fire inside of me. I was like, “Oh man, wow. I really want to do this.”
