...ACTING OUT MY LIFE…
Since I have been in India I stay in touch with our country through various forms of media. The more I watch what is going on in the US, I ask myself why I love it so much. The race issue is never ending in America and it just becomes more frustrating over time. The opportunities that my ancestors fought for and the life that I am able to have and give back to my child means everything to me. So when I think about race, my mind immediately goes to her. My daughter will face many issues growing up as a bi-racial child, but I plan to give her the tools to be prepared and overcome the obstacles that she will face.
What is the image about? Hmmm… With the discussion of race being so prominent in America at the moment, I feel its only right to show that a black man has performed as all of these faces of various races (rhymes pretty good!). I think it says something that we are the same when we get to the core of our being. My background is different than probably 95 percent of the actors that I have created performances for, but somehow these projects have connected to people around the world. I am “Acting Out My Life”… meaning my life is partly built around the performances I create. It provides a home for my family, food on the table, and piece of mind for my life in general…
…yes I am acting out my life. but we are all acting in some way or another. We are all connected so we need to start ACTING LIKE IT...
