Had the absolute honor to photograph Tony Winner Nikki M. James backstage of @suffsmusical and you can see those photos exclusively on @people Have you seen Suffs? It’s a pretty remarkable show. I’ve seen it three times now and I learn something new about history, myself, and what I’m willing to fight for each time I see it. @nikkimjames gives an absolutely outstanding performance as Ida B. Wells and it is acting at its finest. Check out the People feature (link in story) to see more and learn more about her prep process backstage.

There’s no question that the performing arts are in conversation with what’s going on in the world. When it comes to @nikkimjames’ career, she has found connections between her roles and Presidential eras. Her time as Nabulungi in @bookofmormon was during President Obama’s term. She first sang from @suffsmusical in 2017, just after President Trump was inaugurated. And now, she has seen a shift while she is performing as Ida B. Wells in #Suffs on Broadway as @kamalaharris accepts the nomination as the Democratic candidate for the President of the United States of America.
