Morticia GodivaDirector of Operations
Pronouns: Her/Shey Morticia Godiva is an actor, dancer, writer, and producer. Some of their work includes “Feeling Like An Orchid”, a short film that they wrote, produced, and starred in. The film shares a story of black love and dating within a polyamorous relationship. Godiva recently produced a body of work that is poetry in motion and an ode to Fem Queen Joy, titled “Boomerang”. As an artist, Morticia creates an authentic narrative through literature, dance, music, and performance. She is interested in the space and distance between people, and her innate ability to transform that into something of beauty for the viewer implicitly parts the gift of empathy to all who devour her art. Thematically, the truth of self and our right to self determine our own existence is prevalent throughout Godiva's work. In October of 2019 the Black Trans Travel Fund welcomed Morticia as their Director of Community Engagement. "i believe that when black trans folks are uplifted; societally we will get to experience liberation for all black people on a global scale" |
