In 2021, her debut teleplay “You Gotta Start Somewhere” had audiences rolling in the aisles. Now, she’s rocking with the Brown Bodies in a Blue Earth crew. Lynette’s wit’s sharper than a director’s cut, and her tales? Well, let’s just say your mama might blush. Stay tuned for more screen and stage adventures from this urban storyteller.
