*A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR:*


*As a director and writer she works to tell stories through a different
lens. Dayshawnda’s goal is to give BIPOC and LGBTQIA a chance to tell their
stories through work that has been traditionally cast predominantly white.
As an actor herself she has experienced the stereotypical boxes that BIPOC,
and LGBTQIA artists are put in due to the criticism that may be received
for not remaining in the comfortability of cookie cutter casting.*



*Why “Fat Pig”? Many times we often and only experience stories with happy
endings. As artists our job is to tell everyone’s story rather the ending
is happy or sad. Through life we go through trials and tribulations that
change the way we interact with each other. “Fat Pig” is a view into
reality and how we sometimes interact with each other for our own selfish
needs.*



*During the pandemic Dayshawnda began the journey of painting parts of her
body she didn’t like. Growing up being teased for her appearance people
lacked the ability to see one’s heart and soul. Dayshawnda painted these
pieces to learn to accept and love herself inside and out! *



*“These paintings represented what is often looked at as laziness, lack of
confidence and greed. I purposely avoided painting faces to focus on the
beauty of the body. Every curve, every hill, every mark stretched like the
roots of a tree. Within the paintings of my body, I recreated the narrative
of the words “SLOB”, ”COW”, and “FAT PIG!”*
