DD RAINBOW portrays NANCY GREEN in
Being Aunt Jemima, the Pancake Queen
Script by: Bo List Costume by: Robert Haven
Nancy Green became one of the first prosperous African American women in the U.S. Green was born enslaved in Montgomery County, Kentucky, in 1834. While in Kentucky she worked for the Walker family and moved with them to Chicago just after the Great Fire, in 1872. Eight years later, Nancy Green became "Aunt Jemima." Businessman R.T. Davis had purchased a pre-mixed, self-rising recipe for pancakes and wanted an "Aunt Jemima," a character from minstrel shows which were popular at the time, to be the face of his pancakes. "Aunt Jemima" would be a friendly, animated, African American cook who served a wealthy white family. Playing the role of "Aunt Jemima" gave Green financial independence few African Americans and few women experienced at the time. She used her wealth as a means to empower her community. She was particularly active in her church, leading missionary trips, investing in anti-poverty programs for African Americans, and advocating for equal rights. Though her work depended on a derogatory racial stereotype, her financial success demonstrates how black Americans could sometimes play on and use such images to their advantage.

DD RAINBOW, CIVIC ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
Government invites Artists into city offices! Tuesday, June 15, 2021 By Susan Straub
Government invites artists into city offices
Tuesday, June 15, 2021 By Susan Straub
Three local artists are now working inside Lexington city offices to help government employees explore new ways to engage residents and develop creative new projects.
“The artists are here! I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunities that creates for our community and our employees,” Mayor Linda Gorton said.
CivicLex, Blue Grass Community Foundation and the City are working together to create a “Civic Artist-in-Residence” program.
“At CivicLex, we know that creative thinking can help us find new ways of bringing together residents and city government,” said Richard Young, Executive Director of CivicLex. “Reinforcing trust in Democracy must be rooted in building relationships, and we are so excited that LFUCG has seen the potential for this program to do just that.”
Although this program is new to Lexington and a first for Kentucky, civic artist-in-residence programs are a nationally recognized model for developing new approaches to transforming city government. The program is funded, in part, by a federal Our Town grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Blue Grass Community Foundation is excited to partner in this endeavor. Grants from the National Endowment for the Arts are highly competitive, so receiving this award in Lexington is a testament to the innovative and important work of CivicLex the vibrancy of our arts community, and the openness of city government to look at creative, fresh approaches to the delivery of services to residents,” said Lisa Adkins, Foundation President and CEO.
The program was developed over the past 18 months by a 26-member Advisory Committee that included city employees and community members. The Advisory Committee solicited applications from Fayette County-based artists and selected three finalists who will work in the Environmental Quality and Public Works, Social Services, and Finance departments.
The three artists selected, from 56 applicants, include:
Debra F. Faulk (DBA) DD RAINBOW – Faulk, a native of Lexington, spent many years in Los Angeles as a stand-up comedienne and actress before she returned to Lexington to continue her theatrical work. She has been a guest lecturer with the University of Kentucky Department of Theatre and Dance and with the Theatre Of Hearts/Youth First in Los Angeles Faulk currently works with Kentucky Humanities portraying NANCY GREEN "Being Aunt Jemima-The Pancake Queen" - Kentucky Chautauqua the Kentucky activist, philanthropist and missionary, whose likeness became known as “Aunt Jemima.” Debra will be working with the UK Pediatrics - Family Care Center within the Department of Social Services.
Anthony Gilmore – Gilmore is a film producer and director whose work includes the documentary film, “Behind Forgotten Eyes.” It was named best documentary film at numerous film festivals including the Melbourne (Australia) Independent Film Festival, among others. Other films include “The Lion,” which focuses on a renowned Japanese Kabuki performer and “Play Money,” a dramatic feature film. Originally from Nebraska, Gilmore lived in Korea and Japan for numerous years, founded and directed the Nameless Theatre in Japan, and moved to Lexington with his family three years ago. Gilmore will be working with the Environmental Quality and Public Works Department,
Hannah Allen – Hannah Allen is a quilter and fiber artist living in Lexington, Kentucky. Having grown up in the Lexington art community as a visual art student at SCAPA, Hannah experienced a variety of mediums from a young age, discovering a love of sewing and textile arts. After a long hiatus from art, instead of studying and working in architectural history, she re-discovered her love of sewing in 2018. In 2019, she was a part of the Rita’s Quilt project, contributing the embroidered Kentucky square. The quilt was displayed at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, KY in March 2020, and was featured on NPR, BBC, and Atlas Obscura. Her current work expresses the comfort of a handmade quilt, the joy of creative freedom, and the unexpected happiness in rediscovering past interests. Allen will be working with the Finance Department.

WHY: North Limestone Community Development Corporation – Night Market
SUPPORT NEIGHBORHOOD - http://www.nolicdc.org/about-night-market
The Night Market is designed to showcase and provide a platform for local business, artists, and non-profits. By charging low vendor fees (which are reimbursable if the vendor makes less than the fee in revenue), we create a low bar for entry for neighbors that cannot afford to open a bricks-and-mortar business, or even vend at other, more established marketplaces. We also do not curate what type of vendor booths are allowed. Aside from giving preference to vendors that are from our neighborhood, we don't decide what types of goods do and do not qualify to be shown (aside from illicit products, and direct sales marketers). At the Night Market, you'll find folks vending everything from homemade soap, jewelry, custom designed apparel, art to food ranging from Nepalese, Japanese, Thai, West Africa, Haitian, Mexican, and some of the best southern American food there is to offer. For businesses and individuals, The Night Market is a great way to generate awareness, public interest, and revenue.
*Authentic CUBAN Food will be sold at this event. In addition to sweets and beverages are always sold @ WILD FIG BOOKS & COFFEE.

WHY: North Limestone Community Development Corporation – Night Market
SUPPORT NEIGHBORHOOD - http://www.nolicdc.org/about-night-market
The Night Market is designed to showcase and provide a platform for local business, artists, and non-profits. By charging low vendor fees (which are reimbursable if the vendor makes less than the fee in revenue), we create a low bar for entry for neighbors that cannot afford to open a bricks-and-mortar business, or even vend at other, more established marketplaces. We also do not curate what type of vendor booths are allowed. Aside from giving preference to vendors that are from our neighborhood, we don't decide what types of goods do and do not qualify to be shown (aside from illicit products, and direct sales marketers). At the Night Market, you'll find folks vending everything from homemade soap, jewelry, custom designed apparel, art to food ranging from Nepalese, Japanese, Thai, West Africa, Haitian, Mexican, and some of the best southern American food there is to offer. For businesses and individuals, The Night Market is a great way to generate awareness, public interest, and revenue.
*Authentic CUBAN Food will be sold at this event. In addition to sweets and beverages are always sold @ WILD FIG BOOKS & COFFEE.
Please bring CASH to support our locally owned businesses. We’re doing this show to help spread the Love of Laughter.
This comedy show is a FUNDRAISER for LINA’S BYRD NEST (a non-profit organization). LINA’S BYRD NEST provides Comedy as Therapy. http://www.linasbyrdnest.org/ Promoting “UNITY In Our Community”

DD RAINBOW portrays Nancy Green in... Being Aunt Jemima - The Pancake Queen
(1834-1923) Nancy Green became one of the first prosperous African American women in the U.S. Green was born enslaved in Montgomery County, Kentucky, in 1834. While in Kentucky she worked for the Walker family and moved with them to Chicago just after the Great Fire, in 1872. Eight years later, Nancy Green became "Aunt Jemima." Businessman R.T. Davis had purchased a pre-mixed, self-rising recipe for pancakes and wanted an "Aunt Jemima," a character from minstrel shows which were popular at the time, to be the face of his pancakes. "Aunt Jemima" would be a friendly, animated, African American cook who served a wealthy white family. Playing the role of "Aunt Jemima" gave Green financial independence few African Americans and few women experienced at the time. She used her wealth as a means to empower her community. She was particularly active in her church, leading missionary trips, investing in anti-poverty programs for African Americans, and advocating for equal rights.

The current Kentucky Chautauqua cast includes 29 figures from Kentucky's rich and colorful history. From John G. Fee's fight to abolish slavery and Mary Todd Lincoln's life as America's First Lady, to Alice Lloyd's struggle to bring education to Appalachia and the humorous stories of Harland "Colonel" Sanders, Kentucky Chautauqua offers something for every classroom and community group.

DD RAINBOW plays MAMA MOJA & THE WOMAN WHO REMINDS YOU
IN THE RED AND BROWN WATER @ University of Kentucky "Guignol Theatre" Feb. 18-21 and 25-28, 2016
Fleet-footed young athlete Oya is on the verge of womanhood, forced to make a life-altering decision: does she escape fate by accepting a track scholarship at a state university or does she stay caught in the Louisiana projects to care for her dying mother? Oya must come to terms with her identity, her sacrifice, and her loss. The first play chronologically in young American playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney’s Brother/Sister Plays trilogy, The New York Times calls this coming-of-age drama “a work of rare lyricism.”
Please be aware that strong language and sexual content are used in the production of In the Red and Brown Water. Viewer discretion is advised.
