"I love sharing my story. It's endlessly healing"
About this Quote
The phrasing does two jobs at once. “Love sharing” signals generosity and audience-awareness, the social contract of the stage: I give you something true, you give me attention, recognition, maybe even forgiveness. “Endlessly healing” shifts the focus from one-time catharsis to repetition. Healing isn’t a neat arc with a final curtain; it’s iterative, like rehearsal. Each retelling refines the narrative, takes the jagged parts of experience and gives them shape, which is often what trauma and hardship steal: coherence, control, an ending that makes sense.
In cultural context, this sits inside a long tradition of Black performance as testimony, where survival is translated into art without being reduced to “inspiration.” Vereen’s career spans eras when Hollywood and Broadway welcomed Black talent while still pressuring it to be palatable. Sharing “my story” becomes a soft act of refusal: not just entertaining, but insisting on interiority. The subtext is practical and slightly defiant: if the world tries to narrate you, keep narrating yourself. That’s why it keeps working; it’s not a slogan, it’s a method.
