THE HEAT: When did you fall in love with the performing arts?
BOURNETT: I think third grade, I tried to write and produce my own play during recess.
THE HEAT: What has been your inspiration as you’ve traveled your journey to this point?
BOURNETT: Trying to be the best at what I love the most and knowing that there is room for my voice and ideas in this world.
THE HEAT: How did you get the role as Lavender in “The Delicate Flower”?
BOURNETT: I auditioned. (she laughs shyly) I really don’t know, I assumed Shakeia and E believed and trusted my portrayal of the Lavender.
THE HEAT: Most actors/actresses play roles that have nothing at all to do with their personal life. How does your part in this production relate to your life, if at all?
BOURNETT: I can relate to the constant moving around as a child. Also the need to, every now and then, act out and cry when things don’t go your way or when you don’t understand what’s happening around you. I think everyone has those moments.
THE HEAT: What are some other productions you have been in or a part of?
BOURNETT: Currently, I’m in a web series, “From This Day On.” I also just completed production on stage play dealing with human trafficking. I’m also doing some directing.
THE HEAT: If you could have one dream to come true at this very moment, what would it be?
BOURNETT: Just one, hmmmm. Win an Oscar, lol. Or maybe direct and Oscar winning film, either one.
THE HEAT: What has been the most challenging part of “The Delicate Flower” to get produced and to the stage in your opinion?
BOURNETT: Marketing!
THE HEAT: Is there someone that today you would call your hero/shero?
BOURNETT: My family is full of heroic people, I can’t just pick one.
THE HEAT: What’s next for you after “The Delicate Flower”?
BOURNETT: Directing a short film and web series.
THE HEAT: What is one thing you’re hoping that the audience will take away from “The Delicate Flower”?
BOURNETT: In one word, “GROWTH”.
