Note:  This #TakeTimeThursday will be a little longer than usual as we offer a special presentation by actress and author, Morgan Avery McCoy.

Actress and Author Morgan McCoy shares her spoken-word piece which offers a reflective, raw, and inspiring take on her first responses to the pandemic and the jewels she found in her life amidst this challenging season. Her story not only inspires but also empowers the audience to identify their own "crowns" in their life story as well.

Inc. and Executive Director of her non-profit, A.C.T. 4 Life, Inc.  She can be seen on national TV commercials, films and most recently the Box Office Hit Harriet, starring Cynthia Erivo and Janelle Monet.  While not on set, Morgan tours the country speaking and presenting her one woman shows: Evolution of a Black Girl: From the Slave House to the White House (2015 tour sponsored by Academy Award Winner Louis Gossett Jr.); She’s Got Issues; and Care for Me: The Cry of the Fatherless.  Within the shows, Morgan utilizes her unique storytelling ability through comedy and drama to motivate audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
