• “Rising of the Necessary Diva” will hit the stage at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 26, at the Bardo Arts Center at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee. This endeavor is an autobiographical account of a girl raised in the hood and born to a sharecropper’s daughter. Her gift to sing paves a path for her to travel the world singing classical music, but whose heart recognizes the need to return to the hood to serve in purpose.
