Meet Brittany Harris and Stefon Q Burns!
These two RCs featured in this year’s Sankofa show. As Brittany’s EC resume editor, I can tell you that in addition to being an artistic talent, she presently has a mean resume and she writes succinct, prompt and cogent emails. How about them apples. And, as a child of the ‘90s I can tell you that Stefon Q Burns has 2/3s of the full name of the hot alterego to Stephen Q Urkel.
Enjoy getting to know more about them!
