“Over the years, I have developed a profound appreciation for the transformative power of the arts to heal, foster understanding, and cultivate community. From West Virginia to California, I have witnessed how the arts can help us bridge difference, face fear, and counter hatred. As an actress, I embrace empathy to connect with the characters I play, the stories I tell, and the communities I serve. It is an honor to support Artists for Understanding to champion art's ability to foster deep connections for diverse communities across the U.S.”
