From a Yardie to a Yankee

Part of Theatre West’s Solopalooza 2.022, From a Yardie to a Yankee is Sardia’s own, personal story of her journey from Jamaica to America. Born into a poverty-stricken Jamaican neighborhood, Sardia had to overcome numerous hurdles in everyday life. Even as a young girl, Sardia dreamed of becoming a Hollywood actress. Then, an unplanned pregnancy added yet more hurdles. Sardia’s engaging and unique storytelling style takes audience members on an emotional rollercoaster ride fraught with peril, pain, and suffering, but also filled with humor, endearing characters, and the undeterred human spirit to survive.
