Drewcella Oya Mae // Nov 19, 2016

Drewcella Mae Davis, also known as Oya, is a born and raised playwright from Minneapolis, MN. She is currently a senior at Augsburg college majoring in sociology with a focus on playwriting. The rhythms, and cultures of North Minneapolis and Afro Cuban spiritual traditions are infused in the worlds of her plays. Her work focuses on blackness, beauty, in the context of America. Her plays aim to redefine blackness in terms of love, family, community and the magic that comes along with not knowing where one truly came from. Her plays hope to give life to stories that haven’t been told. One day she will use her experience as a playwright and sociologist to rehabilitate black youth in prison and give a voice to the voiceless.
