| Khadijah Ali-Coleman Author of Running: AMOK |
I have tried to volunteer with Khadijah since 2009 via LiberatedMuse.com when there was performers using their talents for fundraising efforts after the tragedy in Haiti, and I finally got around to attending a free workshop she held earlier this month about “Writing Your Life Story”. After that, I went to a free preview of her play Running: AMOK on March 26, and was pleasantly blown away by the sheer talent of the women involved, the music, and the presentation. I am really looking forward to seeing the full production in DC during its Spring 2011 season.
Here is the DC Examiner article I wrote about her and the upcoming performance of her play. This woman is no joke, and her work ethic inspires me to increase my own self-discipline and produce. I am going to interview the other wonderfully talented ladies in the play as a prelude to my review article of the play itself, which I will attend in May of 2011. Stay tuned!
One of the jokes between my fellow Goddardites and me is how hard it is to click “send” for our packet work. I’ve written about how nervous I was performing this, but it was almost just as hard for me to watch it, AND then to upload it to YouTube.
I feel like a complete dork. I am wondering about minute details. I am mad that my voice was too quiet, though in the room it read pretty ok. The hardest part of this was actually uploading the video. I can always pull it, but I am endeavoring to learn from it. My inner critic and I battled ferociously, but I did publish it to YouTube.
I know that I am going to be judged. I know that some people are going to say that I am right on, or completely wrong. I wish it weren’t so, but it is. I can’t control anything but my own faith, hope, and love. I choose to push myself artistically. Who knows where that is going to take me. It may just make me a happier person, and not affect a single other thing.
I am ok with that.
