About Luisa Angel Mallard
I am a South African-born, Kenyan actress at Eastern Mennonite University and a freelance photographer well known for the play Distant Witness. Here, I played behind the scenes as a light board operator and the sound/video assistant producer.
Education and Professional History
Certificate in Theology and Philosophy from Kenya Methodist University.
B.A. in Communications and English currently at Eastern Mennonite University.
I am also taking a minor in Journalism, and I practice Philosophy as a human rights activist.
I started my acting career in the year 2013 after getting inspired through numerous drama and music festivals I had been participating in since elementary. During my practice in this field, I have developed the skills that now act as a foundation for my acting and photography career.
As a journalist, I work as a staff writer for the EMU school magazine, Weather Vane.
I was raised in Pretoria West Gauteng. Later, my family moved to Kenya where I studied to the University level. In my quest to become better, I applied for different scholarships and finally got accepted at Eastern Mennonite University where I took my passion to the next level. I discovered my skills here than anywhere else due to the different facilities and opportunities the school presented.
I swim and watch soccer for fun. One of my biggest inspirations comes from Maya Angelou's poem Still I Rise . She thinks deeply about the female and empowers her through uncensored words. When Maya says, "Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes?," I appreciate her honest expressions. Though aggressive, the message that women and black Americans cannot be broken by racism, is clear.
