Mia Herndon

Mia is a Georgia Peach living in the Big Apple. Well actually, they
call it the planet ­ Brooklyn Ba-by, and a foundation job at Thrid Wave Foundation (www.thidwavefoundation.org) maintains her orbit around the sun and Manhattan. Anyway though, you don't want to know all that. This is what you really want to know, How did she get in this film, and why is she so Christie? Well, a role as one of the California
raisins started it all ­ one heartfelt semester in fourth grade. The drama
teacher saw potential, but later on the Academy Theater didn't, so Mia stage-managed knowing that even if she couldn't be in the limelight at least she could tell other people when to turn it on. But oh, life has funny twists, and dance performances in the nude on Columbia University's Miller Theater's stage (for choreographer Nia Love) gave her the drive again to pursue art. Or maybe it was being crazy and colorful as one those often celebrated and suicidal ladies of Ntozake's which was also peformed at Columbia University. In the limelight again every blue moon with dreams of returning very, very soon. I mean what activist doesn't dream of justice and Hollywood cheddar?
