@gabunion : Today’s #wcw is one of the original Broadway DIVAAAS, @valariepettiford. This triple threat has been performing and garnering awards since the 70’s, and changed the game with her performance in Fosse. One of the first roles that solidified her as a leading player was her starring performance as Anita in the West Side Story reunion tour in ’87. After making her mark on the broadway stage in West Side Story and Fosse (which got her a Tony nom), she went on to be the first American to star in Chicago on London’s West End alongside Chita Rivera.  I met her on the set of Half & Half where she played @essence_says’s mom, and instantly, she was family. I found myself constantly going back to set to hang with her and hear more of her unbelievable stories. Her heart is so dope, and her talent is immense. She invited me to watch one of her “casual” cabaret performances in NYC, and it was a who’s who of legends. Her humbleness and grace is something we can all learn from, and I can’t wait for you all to see what we are working on next 🤗You can watch her in her latest TV Show, BBC’s A Discovery of Witches. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.
