How did a black girl who grew up in an all-white suburb become an actress and activist? Tania Richard grew up in an all-white suburb of Chicago. She spent her days dodging microaggressions, striving to fit in, and yearning to see herself represented. She discovered her superpower when cast as the Caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland. On stage, she no longer has to blend in; instead, she is confident, free from boundaries, and empowered to surpass others' narrow vision of her. Through performing, Tania embraced her Blackness and healed from the cultural isolation she faced in her childhood. With a blend of cautionary tales, antiracist provocation, and humor, Tania takes on the leading role in a culture that often relegates Black women to supporting characters.
