Tony and Emmy Award winner, currently appearing on The Blacklist, the one and only LaChanze joins us this week. From making history along side her daughter, starring on Broadway in the same season, to her work as one of the founding members of Black Theater United, she has met her career with joy and gratitude, recognizing the power that theatre has to heal not only our personal grief, but our social and political injustices as well. Even in the darkest of times, following the death of her husband, she found solace on the stage and with her theatre family as she forged through raising her daughters on her own and is now breathing in the space of her "empty nest".
