#repost @loriprince212 - Audible honored 15 narrators into the 2026 Hall of Fame on Wednesday, April 8th at the Audible theater in NYC.

They did the math.

Together, Audible’s Narrator Hall of Fame Class of 2026 has performed over 20,000 audiobooks-roughly 200,000 hours of audio.

That’s 22 years of listening.
......

✨️I had the honor of performing alongside our Newark, New Jersey Poet Laureate, Mia X (@bestthingcreated) for this prestigious event! Thank you @audible!🙏🏾

-@palettegrp The City of Newark has a creative culture that is so rich, you can taste it in the air. Please meet the local talents that came together to reflect Newark's essence through rhythm and rhyme:

-Roc, the composer, was born and raised in Newark. His whole family has created and produced media for the city of Newark for years.

-Janetza, the vocalist, is known for her local philanthropic work in the community and singing on stage in Newark.

-Bri, the violinist, the new local, went straight into community work, as she builds her music career, oh, and catch her in “Bruised” on Netflix.

-MoRuf, a local rap legend is pure magic and love. Mayor Baraka’s family heritage is just insane and his 20-minute recording session is something we won’t talk about.

-Our creative lead, Amandla Baraka, the director born and raised in Newark has built a wild commercial portfolio; AND NEVER forgets her roots shooting multiple films in her city.
Forever in awe of your genius craft! #WelcomeToNewark

So, in 2020, when performance venues, restaurants, and other businesses had to shut their doors and we all had to shelter in place, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, in partnership with the Newark Arts Festival, launched an initiative to produce virtual performances in a series called Jersey Fresh @ Home. Roc & The Collective was tapped to produce an at-home experience, curated specifically for this series, from my recording studio. The full performance, featuring the artist The Euphony, is included in my bio.

We never see it coming…

One idea… to one design… to continuing to #channelyourcatalyst …

And suddenly we’re creating something we’ve never imagined.

5 films later… and this is JUST the beginning!🎥

This is what happens when we stop ignoring our instincts.

We create, not for validation, but because it’s trusting what’s within.

Anyone can do this.

Whatever’s been calling you… it’s there for a reason.

Channel Your Catalyst
Then continue to build from it.

Grateful for every single person who believed in this and brought it to life with me 🤝🙏🙌

More on the way 🎥

Built with some incredible people:

CAPTIVATING ‘MOUNTAINTOP,’ IS 2026’s BEST N.J. THEATRE PRODUCTION SO FAR” — NJ.com 🔥🔥🔥

#repost @milesquaretheatre - What a way to kick things off. Thank you to everyone who joined us for opening week of The Mountaintop. We’re thrilled to share this work and are so proud of the actors and creative team behind it.

Here’s what critics are saying:

🗞 @patrickjmaley , @njdotcom :
“Under the direction of Jamil Mangan, the current production of “The Mountaintop” at Hoboken’s Mile Square Theatre executes Hall’s vision marvelously. Mangan’s direction is smart and nuanced, and his two performers—Hassiem Muhammad as King, Kendra Holloway as Camae —are consistently captivating. The show is excellent and stirring: New Jersey’s best of 2026 so far.”

🗞 @jimjbeat , @njartsnews :
“When the play veers into more surreal territory — and it does, decisively — the production commits fully, trusting the audience to follow along. You’ll need to buckle your seat belt and settle in for a bumpy ride at this point, but trust me, the play nails the landing.”

🗞 @buoyantellen :
“We live in a culture that loves nothing more than pulling the great ones apart — as though we are owed exposure to all the flaws. But Hall does something bolder: she gives us the mess and keeps the man intact. Perhaps the height of any mountain can only be appreciated from its base In that way, King’s greatness, residing imperfectly beside his frailties, makes him more remarkable, not less, and I left the theater closer to him because I came to know him better.”

Week two is here—come see what everyone’s talking about.
