Carlita Victoria was last seen on stage in the North Carolina Theatre production of Kinky Boots just over a year ago. She is a singer and dancer who has performed all over the world. But behind her captivating smile and infectious laugh, she has struggled like so many with us with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. And that is why she founded Darkness Rising, which helps Black performers begin conversations with family, coworkers, and friends about mental health and emotional well-being.
