Shayde Sinclair

I am a multi-disciplinary artist, currently exploring acting, directing, singing, and writing. I am particularly interested in telling stories for under-represented communities, especially where I have relatable life-experience as I feel there is more I can personally offer. Pronouns: her/she.
