As she walked on stage, her mocha smooth skin began to illuminate from the stage lighting, the audience instantly gazed at her. The radiation of her light was as of a single lit candle in a dark room.
As she began to perform, she commanded and hunted the attention of the crowd as of a praying leopard with her deep resonating voice, as they stared into her cat eyes and faint freckles that lightly spotted her face. Whether it was the sweet precious words of wisdom she spoke through women she played or through the poetry of Shakespeare she portrayed, characters she played traveled through the ears of the audience; softly playing through raw nerves like a harp.

HOUSTON – Maiya Turner rushed into the studio with five minutes to spare before showtime. After anchoring her belongings, Turner slid to her left for a debrief on the hour’s latest.
She listened as Professor Serbino Sandifer-Walker ran her through the variety: if you’re talking Washington, D.C. make it local. Same for the latest on COVID-19. In fact, whatever the story, be sure it’s of local significance.
“Just think about the current events, what’s actually going on in our community,” Walker advised.
Tuner nodded her head, took a breath, and declared, “Around the world. Around our community. This is KTSU2 News for Monday, February 1, 2021.”
