The Beginning

Wow, its been at least 2 years since I've blogged but thanks to my homegirl I've been inspired to begin documenting my journey. Specifically my creative journey. Let me introduce a side of me that many of you do not know...or haven't had the opportunity to witness.

Hi, my name is Kiki and I'm a theater geek. Yes, a theater geek. I'm the person in the car next to you belting out each and every word to RENT (along with all of the facial expressions and choreography if I can pull it off), I'm the person with the Wicked musical station on Pandora, I'm the person who begins to tell a story with "a funny thing happened" and then completes it with "on the way to the forum" (if you understood that joke you are definitely a theater geek as well, just sayin), I'm the person who rushed to the Parkway Theater when they had a sing-a-long for The Wiz and sat up front, I'm also the person who is proud of her days as a co-director for FAME (and is quick to jump up and do some of the choreography whether you ask me to or not).

With that background I'd like to see more theatrical shows that are based around the lesbian community, more representative of who I am. As the mover & shaker I'd like to believe that I am, I've decided to create my own piece. I have this idea and I've been able to pick a few brains but the project fell by the waist side as I had to deal with other personal stuff (we all know how that goes). But recently a friend of mine said she'd love to follow a blogger as they were on a creative journey. Further into our conversation we both began sharing the blogs we had once written and I was re-inspired. Not only to continue my creative writing but to share my journey.

As we begin to create a piece that is very personal to us, it will most definitely be a journey. This will bring up feelings buried deep, memories left behind and emotions forgotten. Now I'm excited to journal this, share it and revisit it later on.          

So here goes ....I hope you enjoy the ride
