Hey Beautiful People so it has been awhile but I am back to blog about an amazing and dynamic woman Azariah Gunn. A few years ago I brought a group of my students to see a play written by talented writer Craig SirmuMsila Grant focusing on the life of a teenager living in the inner city, when a young lady walked on stage and blew me and my students away with her performance and beauty. From that moment on I became a fan and I am also honored to call her my friend.
Suzette "Azariah" Gunn is not only a talented actress she is also a writer and director from New York. She is a young woman who not only chose to
study all sides of acting but keeps herself actively involved with each entity. She has a degree in Acting from Howard University, DC and Oxford University, England. This multicultural actress known as the chameleon has
starred and guest starred on TV, film and in theater, having played a variety of nationalities and characters in a range of genres. She has received glowing reviews in the NY Times, Variety, NY Post and NY Sun. Azariah seeks to break barriers in this field looking for challenging unconventional roles that speak to the human condition. She was recently seen as supporting lead, Lisette Santiago in “Roadie” by Michael Cuesta (director of Showtime’s “Dexter”) and next working alongside
Oscar winner Tilda Swinton in “We Should Talk About Kevin”
Azariah is also a developing partner in the workshop “The Art of the Craft” (www.artofthecraft.com)This workshop focuses on building artistic, personal and scholastic development in young people. Her directorial debut film “Spare Change” had its red carpet premiere at the HBO International Latino Film Festival in the summer of 2010.
Yesterday, Azariah was the guest speaker at one my schools. She read an excerpt from her new book A-Z Diaries that is launching today. Needless to say she made quite an impression and gained at least 200 new fans in the 12-14 age range ; ). A-Z Diaries is a riveting and raw account of a woman's secret thoughts about life. This hybrid of non-fiction and fiction is told boldly with unapologetic vulnerability and sexuality. Filled with candid honesty and passions that would make a grown man blush, juxtaposed thought provoking pieces about humanity, love and acceptance. This collection of poetry and short stories will captivate. The secret caverns of a woman's mind can be absolutely fascinating. Amen to that!
THE BOOK WILL BE ON SALE MAY 31st AT AMAZON.COM and other Online Sites. Sites will be released today so stay tuned!
So you see I wasn't lying when I said this woman is dynamic and also quite inspiring. She will mesmerize u on stage, film and now with her written word. Azariah you are quite lucky I am only into boys ; )
