In this episode of KeyBARD, host Thembi Duncan talks with award-winning actor, director, and educator Deidra LaWan Starnes for an unfiltered conversation about her lifelong career in theatre. With honesty, humor, and heart, Deidra reflects on what it means to lead in the American theatre as a woman of faith.

We talk about:

  • Her journey through the arts
  • The role of her faith in her self-actualization and habits of mind
  • The power of “getting ugly” onstage
  • Navigating criticism and unfair reviews
  • Mentorship, community, and the need for love and respect in the field

...and much more!

This conversation is for artists who are called to lead, creatives wrestling with ego and calling, and anyone learning to trust the voice within.
