It was a thrill to be joined by Jonelle, who inspired us through her story of confronting a goal which was much greater than herself, with the driving force of discovering self while taking huge risks.
We invite you to tune in and grab from Jonelle's story, your dosage of inspiration moving into this new year and renewal /continuum of purpose and self. Her motivation and passion for what she does are captivating and simply bold and tenacious; we love it.

His works are influenced by his aim to create social change for marginalized groups specifically young boys and women.

Strike: To take down a set after production has closed. The use of the word "strike" in the theatrical sense of taking down scenery was recorded more than one hundred years ago--although builders had used the word as early as the 17th century to mean "remove" and sailors to mean "lower" (a mast or sail) in the 14th century. Today, it is usual to strike a set directly after the final performance, and there is a good reason for doing so; (a full complement of workers, both cast and crew.)
