Dacquiri Baptiste with Orpheum Memphis Group

“What I have noticed about Memphis is people tend to leave and come back because there is space to think and be creative here.”

Shannon and Cecilia are joined by Daiquiri Baptiste from the Orpheum Memphis. We chat about her day-to-day at the Orpheum and how not one day looks the same. She tells us all about her history as a dancer and how it impacts her role today, as well as how Memphis creates and cultivates art in all aspects of our community.
