This East Texas native has a diverse career on stage, film and television. Upon graduating from the Booker T Washington High School of Performing & Visual Arts, Yolonda made her professional theatrical stage debut on the Norma Young Arena Stage at Theatre Three. Her most recognizable work is, ‘Robocop’ , ‘Friday Night Lights’ and the blues documentary ‘Can’t You Hear the Wind Howl: The Life and Music of Robert Johnson’, where she served as the film’s producer.
Yolonda’s contribution to Newsfix, earned CW33 an award with D Magazine as the Best TV News Broadcast of 2017. After leaving CW33 in 2018, Yolonda partnered with the Junior Players of Dallas, to launch an after-school Broadcast Journalism Program called Project Innovation, funded by the NBCUniversal Foundation.
The after-school program expanded in 2019, after Yolonda was awarded the 2019 TACA Artist Residency Fund Grant.
Yolonda continues to be committed in helping DFW area students learn the basics of mixed media, combining their writing informative narratives with filming and editing, to tell cohesive stories about the challenges they see in their communities. Here’s to the next generation of storytellers.
