1.5 years with The Wiz 50th Anniversary National Tour. From PrePro to the End.
14 tracks and a Wiz Cover.
Performed OVER 200 shows of the 450 as a Swing. With countless random appearances on stage to help things go smoothly.
Put 11 people into the show as the Dance Captain.
Perfect Attendance for the run!!!
Made history with this production numerous times.
Pushed myself to the edge mentally, physically & emotionally.
Thank you @schelewilliams @alanmingojr @emilydmads @jaquelknight & @ashley.seldon for EVERYTHING.
Just like Vanessa Williams real talent will always succeed. IYKYK!

Pocket Wiz hit the stage for the first time last night 5/7/26!!!!!
Feeling overwhelmed by all the support from the cast.
From being seen as just a dancer in my career to being able to Undsrstudy the title role in a show.
I am BEYOND grateful to @schelewilliams and @alanmingojr for all their guidance and knowledge that they shared and seeing that I can be more.

They did me dirty with that pic but it’s pretty cool I show up on Apple’s News feeds.
I love when I get to do outreach for The Wiz.
That jawline though. 🤣🤣

It’s been a year since I started my Journey with The Wiz Tour. Now it’s Year 2!!
I still remember Day 1 of prepro with @jaquelknight @ashley.seldon @shayla_alayre. A time was had as we got ready to embark on Chapter 3 of The Wiz.
The amount of hats I’ve worn throughout 2025 have been countless and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else.
Thank you Ozians and friends for all you do. by @jessejdance

When the Captain of the Dance isn’t dancing.
Gotta make sure you can do all three skills in musical theatre.
Shout out to all the Bass/Baritones that Musicals have forgotten.

As a Swing I’m not always on but when I am, look for this adorable lil guy in Treme and “He’s The Wiz”.
Thank you to Kyla Jade @kylasings for creating mini me art work.
I luv him!!!
