About
​Hi, I’m Eboni, a New York City–based actress and voiceover artist.
​
My path to theater began in an unexpected place.
As a child living at San Diego’s Saint Vincent de Paul family shelter, I saw my first play, The Wiz, while on a school field trip. I remember sitting teary-eyed as the actress sang “Home,” realizing for the first time that my story—my pain, my longing—could be mirrored so beautifully on stage. That moment shaped my future, and theater became my safe space, my refuge, my home.
​
Over the past 20 years, I’ve performed on Broadway, Off- (off…off) Broadway, regionally and internationally. I've also led theater-based workshops at Rikers Island, various women’s centers, schools, universities and shelters across the country. In 2016, I co-founded Progeny Project, a community arts initiative where we used theater games and facilitated conversations to spark honest dialogue about relationships, community, and social justice issues.
​
During the quiet of the pandemic, I built a home studio and lunched my voiceover career—a new chapter that fed me creatively and became a vital refuge for my mental health during that time of such uncertainty. One of my proudest moments came when I co-narrated REEL by Kennedy Ryan. Our team made history as the first Black writer and narrators to win an AUDIE Award in the Best Romance category.
Wherever I'm positioned— in a classroom, a community room, onstage or behind a mic—
I aim to use my art to amplify diverse voices, build connection, and celebrate our shared humanity. The power of story changed the course of my life, and I’m committed to honoring that calling—one performance, one character, one conversation at a time.

Background​
My family is from the sticks of Alabama, but I grew up between San Diego and Atlanta. If you ask me though, I’ll probably say I'm from the ATL—because that’s where I found my heart’s beat, deep in the rhythms of trap music at Tri-Cities High School, then at Clark Atlanta University (and later, the University of Alabama— haaay, Master’s degree!) in the beautiful “Dirty South.”
​
When I’m not working, I’m a “regular-degular” judgment-free-zone type of chick. I'm pro-God/Love, pro-Black, pro-Queer, and pro-Live-YOUR-Best-Life—just don’t hurt nobody. I love quiet moments to myself (probably too much), gut-bustin’ laughs with my closest friends, home-making, thrifting for vintage finds, gardening, and long walks with Outkast blasting in my AirPods. Oh, and desserts—everywhere, anywhere, all at once, if possible.
​​​
I treasure trips “home” to spend time with my mom, my five sisters, and twelve nieces and nephews. Lately, I’ve been deepening my sustainable living practices with my local BuyNothing group, and channeling my inner wild-woman survivalist while binge-watching ALONE or Naked and Afraid.
​
With gratitude for my ancestors, this journey, and the genuine connections I’ve made, I remain in service of #GodsPlan for me.
​
Stay tuned!
