May 1, 2026Professional Grade Talent Incredible Audience Engagement
In my years working within the music and arts industry, I have seen many performers tackle iconic monologues, but this rendition of 'Ain't I a Woman' was uniquely powerful.
From a booking perspective, she is exactly what you want: a performer who commands the stage with absolute authority and deep emotional resonance. It is clear that she is a dedicated student of the craft; her self-directed study and training have resulted in a performance that feels both technically polished and raw.
The impact on the room was undeniable. There were audible reactions and visible tears from the audience—a level of engagement that is hard to teach. She possesses a rare 'gut' for storytelling and a professional poise that makes her a standout choice for any high-caliber event or production. If you are looking for a performer who can truly connect with an audience and elevate a program, she is it. I walked away with chills—truly a masterclass in independent talent

What to expect
When you book my performance, you can expect a powerful, high-energy speech delivered with dignity and deep emotion. I arrive in full, historically accurate costume, prepared to bring the spirit of Sojourner Truth to your event.
A Note on the Performance:
While history notes that Sojourner Truth spoke with a Dutch accent, I perform her with a Southern accent. I made this artistic choice because it is the way I have honed the character over 20 years, and I find it hits the "core feeling" of our shared history more effectively for modern audiences. My goal is to ensure her message of strength and truth is felt in the heart of every listener, honoring her legacy in the most impactful way possible.
What is included:
A Commanding Presence: A professional delivery perfected over two decades of theater and monologue work.
Emotional Connection: A performance that focuses on the "truth" in her name to inspire your audience.
Flexibility: I am experienced in performing for schools, churches, and community gatherings of all sizes.

Honoring Sojourner Truth

Additional booking notes
I am fully self-contained for small audiences and intimate settings, as I provide my own costume, props, and a portable voice amplifier for clarity. For larger rooms, auditoriums, or outdoor events, I request that the venue provide a lapel or headset microphone connected to a house sound system. This ensures that every word of the performance carries the power and emotion it deserves

Influences and inspiration
I am deeply influenced by the sheer power and courage of Sojourner Truth. What inspires me most is her strength in the face of injustice—the way she took her fight to the courts and won her children back against all odds.
She had a unique gift for using her words to soften hardened hearts and changing the perception of those who were once filled with prejudice. I strive to bring that same transformative power to the stage, using her story to touch hearts and open minds today
Setup requirements
I am very easy to work with and come prepared! For small groups, I am fully self-contained—I bring my own costume, props, and a small portable speaker so everyone can hear me clearly. If your event is in a very large room or outdoors, please provide a cl
