Current Artist Projects:
1 Other Words for Grief :My poetry manuscript in progress. I’m happy to share this manuscript won a literary award (the Mary Tanenbaum Award)from the San Francisco Foundation supporting its progress. I currently have a chapbook length and hope to complete a full lenght manuscript by the end of 2017. I need all the support I can get so I don’t have to spend time over my teaching break hustling side gigs. Please support my focused writing time!!
2. “TOKEN” : Ensemble play in development. Goal: Fall 2017 or Spring 2018 workshop performances. In April 2016 I was fortunate to have a staged reading as part of my residency in the Just Theater New Play Lab in Berkeley, CA. TOKEN continues an investigation into my obsession with the story of Hana Williams, a girl brought from Ethiopia and murdered by her evangelical Christian adoptive parents. TOKEN is a ghost story exploring the diasporic trauma of black women and the black family through the framework of transracial adoption.
3. UNTOLD (a play): A commissioned writing project to adapt the narratives from the Sea Change Project’s book Untold Stories: Love and Reproduction. UNTOLD the play examines 7 women’s narratives around stigma and reproduction. This work is in collaboration with BRAVA Theater Center in SF, where LMR is a current Artist in Residence. Staged Reading is scheduled for November 2017.
4. Its All Boobs to Me: Feminist Discourse with Zahra and LisaMarie: Brand new WOC podcast with LisaMarie and fellow feminist Zahra Noorbakhsh! Check out the first episode here:
