My play "Heritage of America", has been performed over 30 time in America and overseas for civilian and military audiences. The theme is a musical historical narrative of Black America.
God allowed me to keep my voice after a surgical procedure, therefore, since I do not work I use my voice to praise God.
I Currently minister as "Motivation by Louisa", to audiences in the Midlands of South Carolina.
