Artist
In March 2010, The Black Music Academy named HeavenNezCree “Best Female Gospel Performer” for her portrayal of the character Angel in the musical stage play Cafe Gladys Place.

Since that date, HeavenNezCree was chosen to have her song “The Beatitudes” placed on the Give To The Gulf music project and in December 2010 traveled to New Orleans with other artists to help rebuild homes devastated by hurricanes and flooding.

She has written both book & music, and directed and choreographed the children’s musical The Storyteller which opened & played at Greenway Court Theatre in March 2011; directed and arranged The Beatnix - A Choroepoem, performed at The Original Farmers Market (LA) in which she wove together the poetry of Fairfax High School students presenting a beautiful look at the true meaning of fame (April 2011) ; writer and director of Words Like Rivers (June 2011) Wrote and directed “Urban Moments” which played June 2012 at the Farmers Market / The Grove. In February 2015, wrapped production on "Who's Your Crush?" And the journey continues...In January 2016 the release of my new song D.I.P (Robots to the Dance Floor) called everyone to let go and just dance (are you dancing yet?)

Educator:

I am an artist and educator. As a teen, I began facilitating free dance lessons for neighborhood children at the Wesley Community Center in Dayton, Ohio. This experience set me on the path to continue as a Master Dance Instructor, Dance Specialist, a Fine Arts Coach and Fine Arts Program Developer for schools and after school programs throughout Ohio, New Jersey and New York.

In Los Angeles, I've served as a Dance Specialist, Site Coordinator, Program Director and Creative Director within LAUSD - overseeing after school program providers and creating campus calendars and curricula that supported the California State Standards for the Fine Arts.

Continuing with my personal mission of cultivating safe, nurturing spaces for children and teens to find their voice, I have also served as the Director of Arts Education for the Greenway Arts Alliance (Los Angeles),

I love being a creative visionary and skilled leader who maintains the ability to stay connected - to be hands on in the classroom and in the community, connecting and uniting youth through the arts.

In Q4 2014, I was appointed to the role of Creative Content Advisor for the Golf. My Future. My Game. organization.
