Maxwell will be performing “Echoes of the Past and Voices of Hope,” a dramatic interpretation of the history of African American Women. “Echoes of the Past” explores the turning points in the lives of five African American women of remarkable strength and courage. It takes a look at what it has been like to be an African American female over the past 150 years. “Voices of Hope” is a celebration of the spirit of African American women who believed they could make their dreams a reality.

In the years that followed she began teaching theatre workshops as well as serving as a producer in the New York area. As an actor, Maxwell has toured throughout the country.
