April has barely started and it’s already turning out to be an AMAZING month! Besides celebrating another year with the love of my life...yay! I am also celebrating receiving a SEA grant which will allow me to conduct research for my thesis project on Military Sexual Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I have been working with the amazing Dr. Umana all year, and I will be expanding my research to also visit facilities that specialize in PTSD and MST treatment. This is all quite exciting! Secondly, in two weeks I will be traveling to the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. to participate in the KCACTF conference as Battle Cry has won TWO second place prizes at this annual competition. I will be accepting for both the Lorraine Hansberry Award and Rosa Parks Award. I am beyond excited to meet so many amazing artists over the five day conference. And if that was enough excitement for me, Battle Cry will also be taking part in the Seabury Quinn Jr. Festival of New Plays on Friday April 16th at 2 PM in Kantner Hall. My cup runneth over.
