This was my first independent project. The talented Gloria Mwez, founder of That Untitled Project, invited me to reflect on and write about darkness. In preparing this piece, I had the opportunity to interview Gloria about her work as a dancer and choreographer and how her particular embodiment shaped her experiences. I was honored to both write and provide the voice over that Gloria used for her final choreography.

Since 2014, I have written and performed eight stories with 2nd Story and am working on my ninth. Universe willing and the creek don't rise, I'll work them all into a memoir of sorts. 2nd Story has been a great writing community. Finishing and performing stories here has fueled me in the seemingly endless project of writing a longer piece of fiction. I've performed this particular story countless times and it lives on the 2nd Story podcast, which you can find at https://soundcloud.com/2ndstory and you can learn more about 2nd Story here: https://www.2ndstory.com/
