Whatchu Know about Me?!
My full first name, Onyinyechukwu, means “Gift of God”, and I plan on sharing my gifts to the world. While at the University of Southern California, I restarted the Black Entertainment and Theatrical Association in order to provide minority artists an opportunity to showcase their talents. Wanting to inspire the youth, I developed an outreach program, in which B.E.T.A. taught high school students how to express themselves in creative writing. Later, I created my one-woman show called Charmed, I'm Sure! and performed it with standing-room only in Baltimore, Atlanta, and New York City.
After studying improv for over 7 years, I became a house improviser at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater. My indie improv team, Branded Silk, have been invited to perform & teach at Black & Funny Fest, NJ Improv Fest, and countless shows. Fun Fact: I get a kick out of studying micro-facial expressions and consider myself to be a great lie detector. If you are wondering whether or not, I’m smirking after writing that last line..… I AM!
