Kandi Burruss, a multifaceted talent known for her role in reality TV and music, is making strides as a Broadway producer. With a remarkable career spanning decades, she aims to change the landscape of theater by producing works that feature Black stories and talent. Her latest endeavor revives Shakespeare's Othello on Broadway, showcasing her commitment to diversify the stage. Burruss emphasizes that real change occurs when artists secure a role behind the scenes, shaping decisions and budgets in the industry, thus enhancing their overall impact.
The only way that change can be made is if you get a seat at the table. Being talent is fun, but you’re not the decision-maker most of the time.
Burruss had already achieved a measure of fame in the 1990s R&B girl group Xscape, showing her ability to defy expectations and build opportunities.
