Eddie Conway of the Real News Network interviewed dancer, actress, educator, storyteller, and 2004 OSI Community Fellow Maria Broom in a feature posted online today and included in full below.
The interview opens with a clip from The Wire, in which Broom played Marla Daniels. As part of her Fellowship, Maria established the Dance Girls of Baltimore as a vehicle to work with girls in some of Baltimore’s most challenging public elementary schools. Last year, Broom performed at the last event in OSI-Baltimore’s 20th Anniversary Speaker Series.
