She Can Be Evil - A Survivor’s Story

Booker began performing at the age six, producing her own concerts for family and friends throughout the New Orleans area and was a fan favorite at talent shows.  She made her formal acting debut at age 16 in the Philelectric Society of Jesuit production of “Ain’t Misbehavin” with Harry Connick, Jr.  Her voice has been featured in various advertising campaigns for Coca-Cola and Ralph Lauren and she received the distinct honor of being a “Jeopardy!” clue.  She has conducted vocal workshops and master classes at California State University, Northridge (CSUN), Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, and the Civica Scuole di Musica in Sondrio, Italy.  She has written and produced numerous one-woman shows and stand-up comedy routines, including “Life Without God: Confessions of an Atheist Black Woman” and “Or As the Black People Say.”  Booker uses her talents as a form of activism.  She started Jazz Musicians Against Cancer to promote the concept that Music Is Medicine for those battling the disease.  She returns to the theater stage to combine her passion for spoken word and music addressing hot button issues including religion, social injustice, and police brutality.  For more information about Sandra Booker, visit www.sandrabooker.com.
