Cassandra Howard is the CEO and owner of Finding Voices Playwright Academy coaching (FVPAC) for African American boys’ ages 6-14 years old. Cassandra believes that African American boys lack opportunity to tell their stories, share their brilliance or showcase their talents.  The FVPAC will create a platform to teach them how to present themselves in front of an audience, to learn the importance of tone, body language and its effectiveness. The boys will also be presented with options to become the star in their own personally-named production. Cassandra is known for her listening abilities and her skill in bringing out the best in others.  Cassandra is also known for her ability to teach beyond the obvious, through deep research and study in order to unveil the true meaning of text or conversation.  She was a Bible-School teacher for the youth-teaching teenagers for over 10 years, and currently volunteers from time-to-time to teach Wednesday night adult Bible-study classes.

From 2004-2022, Cassandra’s productions included work with several local churches, a federal agency, a local hospital, schools and the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.  She has over 18 years of experience, which includes 12 productions.  Most of those venues were sold-out or all seats-filled events, averaging from 100-to over 800 people in attendance at each performance.

When Cassandra is not writing- directing plays, she can be found walking 10K steps daily, recording Christian-filled messages on Saturdays, and downloading them onto Facebook. She’s an avid-lifelong student of God’s word. She works out on average five-times a week.

Cassandra enjoys reading, and spending time with her husband, daughters and grandchildren.  Cassandra considers it an honor to be a part of the Woman Christian CEO sisterhood, a powerful group in which she wishes to collaborate with in the future.

Currently, Cassandra is writing another book with expected completion date at the end of 2022.
