On this day we found out one MAJOR thing we have in common. We both have a sibling currently serving time in prison. We shared the stages of guilt, pain, and anger that we go through from time to time. From arguments to long periods of time with no contact. Saqoyia expressed how the holiday seasons are the absolute worst. Sending love in any form that you can is always needed but a little more around this time of year can really help the days go by.

Ive watched these two grow from children to young adults who continue to inspire those around them. Both are playing characters with traits they haven't had to exude on stage before. Wayne will have the opportunity to play his first villain while Natalie will play a more complex character in Elsa. A superhuman Queen who can't control her powers which causes harm to her kingdom and sister. They both share why these experiences mean so much to them.
