Her theatrical resume includes Sarabi (The Queen) for a national tour of Disney’s “The Lion King” and later made her Broadway debut in the same production, covering several roles. Her other notable theatrical credits include starring in stage shows under the direction of Tyler Perry, David E. Talbert, and JD Lawrence, playing opposite Stephanie Mills, Jackee Harry, and Tommy Ford (from Martin), just to name a few.
