I’ve always been drawn to the creativity and life lessons of children’s media. It’s been a life goal to be on a show like Sesame Street as both an actor and puppeteer. I’m extremely excited to be featured in episodes of Look, Listen, + Learn, a local Seattle children’s tv show started by Val Thomas-Matson, a Black woman born and raised in Seattle’s Central District.
This award winning show features a predominately BIPOC cast of all ages, and teaches social and emotional well-being. Being part of a Black-owned children’s show that amplifies the voices of my community, aligns with my creative purpose, and is so inspiring as I continue my journey in children’s media.
