Competing with Heidelberg’s Forensics Team has been one of the most challenging and inspirational activities of my life. Watch some of my award-winning dramatic pieces here!
“The Letter”
Prose interpretation of an original address but Ijeoma Oluo. Oluo shares the power of community, even in the face of a terrible diagnosis.
“Found”
Program Oral Interpretation of works that explore lonliness and how it feels to be “found.” Includes a selection from Dear Evan Hansen, a monologue from All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, and prose “The Front Porch Classroom”
“Dragon Wings”
Interpretation of an original address by Dame Wilburn. A 4-part con, a mother straight out of a folktale, and a great life lesson.
