AUTHENTICITY AND REPRESENTATION WITH CHARLES GRANT

Today we welcome Charles Lamar Grant. Charles is an Actor, Artist, and Activist as well as one of Katherine's closest friends and an actual human sunbeam. Originally from Southern California, his love for art and performance has taken him from receiving a BFA in Acting from UC Santa Barbara to spending a year as an acting apprentice with Portland Playhouse before becoming a professional actor. In addition to acting, he loves to work with students in theatre education and is a huge advocate for proper representation for marginalized communities. For him, theatre is so much more than just entertainment. It is a powerful gift that he hopes will change our perspectives, our lives, and our world. In this episode we discuss the importance of representation in art and his own path to embracing every authentic aspect of his soul by allowing his light to shine through.
