On this episode of Family Meal, I sat down with Tiana Okoye @tee_ohhh and we dished about way more than food. Of course we covered her time on Broadway and being an actor in a new production, as was her case in The Cher Show. She talked about how COVID has illuminated a lot of cracks in the systems we have in place and the measures she and her community are taking to make lasting change- one of them being Broadway via @broadwayforracialjustice. The push for more diversity and inclusivity is needed more than ever, and Tiana is making her voice heard. Her welcoming energy will give you hope and cause to fight for those things in your own life and communities especially with the help of her group @artsavethevote Listen along if you want an honest look at what it takes to be a working multi-faceted performer, how to keep a dream alive even if you feel you're in the minority, and why it's important now more than ever to make your voice heard.
