Yvette met Darius Wallace at his performance of Frederick
Douglass at the Newtown Theatre in Newtown, Pennsylvania. His
performance was on February 4, 2026, 162 years from when Frederick
Douglass in fact visited Newtown Hall, now Newtown
Theatre. Darius Wallace's performance was riveting. He
transported the audience to another place and time with his
delivery of “Frederick Douglass: The Self-Made Man and The Work of
Rebuilding a Nation."
In Yvette's conversation with Darius, he shares his work in
television and film and his journey overcoming his personal
challenges with mental health. He sustains his creative life
through the practice of Tai Chi, meditation, prayer, and
lifelong study, bringing presence, truth, and intention to his
chosen work.
Darius is an author, coach, Hollywood actor, director, and
filmmaker who has built a strong television and film career,
appearing in projects such as Nothing But the
Truth, Brian Banks, and The World We
Make. His television credits include Law &
Order, Law & Order: SVU, Reasonable Doubt, and Tyler
Perry’s Sistas.
