As a Multidisciplinary Artist and single mom, time has had to become fluid for me in order to create. My latest works consist of images capturing moments in my life along with prose concerning homelessness, The Patriarchy, living as a gender-fluid person in the 80s and 90s in DC and Baltimore, and the characters that come along with that life. I am actively seeking publishers interested in such works, and galleries and pop-ups that may be interested in said subject matter. Corporate sponsorships are also, of course, welcomed and appreciated.
I serve as a church musician (pianist, drums) for over 40 years, with a playing style mix of traditional gospel/smooth jazz.
As a DJ, my music of choice is Smooth Jazz and Black (traditional and contemporary). I love DJing for professional office/organizational events, providing sound and mics with a little smooth jazz in the background and between talking sessions/presentations.

Time Will Tell: Stage Intro
Audiobook
Ollie L. Jefferson (Ph.D., Howard University) brings to life the dramatic depiction of HERstory.
Dr. Ollie L. Jefferson is a teacher-scholar/artist who creatively expresses her life lessons by authentically portraying over a dozen characters through original storytelling. This coming-of-age memoir sets the stage with her voice as a teenager entering into womanhood — the period when the mind initiates actions causing life-changing decisions. It is a timeless true story of a first-generation college student full of dreams and on her way toward reality. Her transparent testimony reveals deep-rooted past struggles with faith, relationships, and destiny.
Time Will Tell: Stage Intro presents excerpts from the opening chapters of the Timeless Visual Works book series — Time Will Tell: Stage I, II, and III by Dr. Ollie L. Jefferson. The trilogy explores lived experiences and connects this autoethnography and autobiographical story to broader cultural, social meaning, and understanding. Dr. Jefferson directed and produced live performances of the award-winning adaptation from page to stage at theaters such as the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. This inspiring narrative of building resilience engages audiences while bringing cultural awareness and sensitivity to HERstory.
