As I felt my Theatre Tribe begin to slowly start backing away from me, the loneliness and feelings of angst around all of the loss has been destabilizing these past five years.
I have always struggled with asthma and hypoxia and have used supplemental oxygen off and on for ten years.
The last show I did was in 2018. I kept my concentrator backstage and played Mrs. Fezziwig in A Christmas Carol on a wing and a prayer.
Since that time I have auditioned over and over again wondering if this part of my life is truly closed. Covid messed my lungs up so badly I have had to be on oxygen 24/7.
After recently being removed for “unprofessionalism” from a board chair position working for a Theatre Company, my heart literally broke.
If not for our tribe at FAIR in the Arts, I may have burst into flame from spontaneous combustion.
I know what sort of courage it took for you to go on that podcast last year.
You are uplifting and now I want to listen to the podcast, again...because I'm pretty sure I did, as your story sounded familiar from jump. 😘 ☮️
Thank you--I want to be a clear voice of uplift and truth. Stay tuned!!!
Yes! Happy to find you here.
Loved your talk with McWhorter + Loury.
THANK YOU for your support and subscription!! Stay tuned, stay strong.
Thank you for sharing this. I saw your interview with Glenn and it was very powerful. Wishing you serenity.
Namaste, and thank you.
Any friend of John McWhorter is someone I want to hear from.
Great first post. Good luck.
THANK YOU! I hope to do John, and you, proud.
Jamie,
It was such a joy to host you on my podcast tonight.

Reading this post just now made me feel a bit weepy.
Especially the story of your Mother’s passing.
In 2019 I was mortified when STATERA Arts put out a woke notice on their Instagram.
I made the “career ending” decision to craft a short podcast and throw-down on my BLOG that went somewhat viral on Facebook.
