With an MFA from Harvard University's American Repertory Theatre/Moscow Art Theatre Institute, she has captivated audiences on Netflix's Sweet Magnolias, AMC's The Walking Dead, and BET+'s The Ms. Pat Show to name a few.
A passionate storyteller and proud wife and mother, Lorraine's debut children's book—which soared to #1 in three Amazon categories (Action & Adventures Short Stories, Family Activities, and Children's Explore Latin America)—celebrates creativity, cultural pride, and the magic of intergenerational love.
