Kimberly Dodson is redefining what it means to be an arts worker. Having performed in SUMMER: The Donna Summer Musical and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Kimberly talks about her life on Broadway, dissects the systemic exploitation of the arts worker, and describes the insidious nature of racism in American theatre. Kimberly has taken her experience to create Everybody Black, an incredible organization that supports and empowers Black arts workers and helps to re-seat power with the people.
