About
​Eboni Flowers is a New York City-based performer, writer, voice actor, and "edu-tainer" whose creativity blossoms at the intersection of art and activism.
With over 20 years in the performing arts, she has touched the hearts of audiences on Broadway, Off- (off-off) Broadway, regionally and internationally. Her journey, however, remains deeply personal. As a former homeless child who lived at San Diego's Saint Vincent de Paul, she experienced the transformative power of theater firsthand—her very first play was seen while on a school field trip during that challenging time. This ignited not only her love for the arts but also a profound desire to give back. Over the years, she has led theater-based workshops at Rikers Island prison, women's centers, school cafeterias, and in homeless shelters across the country. No matter the size of the stage or spotlight, she is her best creative self when using her art to tackle social justice issues, ignite meaningful conversations, and inspire audiences to connect, feel, laugh, and heal.
​​
​In 2016, Flowers co-created a community outreach program called Progeny Project, and successfully launched the first endeavor, Nhappi Hour, at various local bars and bookstores in Harlem. Guided by the mission to "cultivate community, one conversation at a time", the Nhappi Hour event uses theater games and various other creative tools to foster group dialogue on topics related to romantic relationships, emphasizing constructive communication and collaboration.
​
Her foray into audiobooks blessed her with surprising success during the pandemic. As a co-narrator on REEL by Kennedy Ryan, Eboni and the team made history as the first writer and narrators of color to ever win an AUDIE Award in the Best Romance audiobook category,
a testament to the call for Black voices and Black Love in stories...
Background
Eboni's family hails from Letohatchee, Alabama, but most of her childhood was split between San Diego and Atlanta. If you ask her though, she'll probably say she's from the ATL, because that's where she found her heart's beat— deep in the rhythms of trap music while attending Tri-Cities High School then Clark Atlanta University (and later, the University of Alabama- haaay Master's degree!) in the beautiful "dirty south".
When she's not working, Eboni likes to say she's "regular-degular". She is a pro-God, pro-Black, body-positive, queer-positive, mind-ya-business-and-live-your-best-life--just-don't-hurt-nobody, judgment-free-zone type of chick. She enjoys quiet, gut-bustin' laughs, home-making, creative craft projects, photography, gardening with her neighbor, QT with her self, thrifting for vintage finds, long walks with Outkast blasting in her Airpods.
Oh, and desserts, anywhere, everywhere (and all at once, if she could).
She relishes trips "home" to spend time with her parents in their older age on their chicken farm, and with her 5 sisters and 12 nieces and nephews! Lately she's really into deepening her sustainable living practices, and summoning her inner wild-woman survivalist while binge-watching seasons of ALONE or Naked and Afraid.
​
With a heart full of gratitude for her ancestors, the magic of this journey, and the genuine connections she’s made, Eboni is ready for whatever comes next.
Stay tuned!
