About the host

Na’Tosha De’Von is an MFA actor from the University of Arkansas and published poet who holds a Bachelor's degree in Speech Communication & Theatre from Jackson State University. She is originally from Chicago, IL and was raised in Mississippi. She believes the purpose of her art is to expose and heal. One cannot heal the parts that are broken if they do not see them. The exposure, while brutal, is a necessary madness. She would like to think the first words she ever spoke were in the form of a metaphor. With that, she acknowledges the power of words. Her love for language has allowed her to develop poetry and take on the nuances of characters as an actor. She has spent her acting career focusing on Classical and Non-classical texts.
