EADERSHIP WARD FOR RTS & EALING
Suzzanne is a patron of the arts and an advocate for
teaching artistic expression in the educational system. As
an artist/activist, her body of work displays her
commitment to roles that fuse social action with art by
challenging societal norms and heightening the
audience’s consciousness about community and world
issues. Although widely known as an actress, singer and
producer, her everyday life is committed to using her gifts
to empower the community. As an award-winning actress
of screen and stage, her personal commitment to
exploring characters seldom played by women of color
has allowed her to create a canon of enigmatic and
complex roles.
She is a graduate of Illinois State University and a student
in the Master’s Program in Jazz Vocals at the prestigious
Manhattan School of Music. In the community, she is a
lifetime member of Girl Scouts of America, The National
Council of Negro Women, Sigma Alpha Lambda (a
national leadership and honors organization), Jack and
Jill of America, Inc. She is also on the National Board of
Delta Sigma Theta, Sorority, Inc.
