Before I came home, I was on contract with Disney Cruise Line as a Character Performer and Dancer. I loved working for Disney through the Disney College program and fell in love with my role as a Character Performer at Walt Disney world so I auditioned for DCL and was on contract until the current situation in the world right now. If it wasn’t for my mom taking me to my first Disney audition in 2018, I wouldn’t have achieved my goals!

I remember my first Mother’s Day. We never tried to get pregnant because it was, pretty much, not on the table for me. An exploratory surgery removed damage and revealed a uterus with multiple defects. Safely carrying to full-term would be both high-risk and very unlikely. Married almost two years, I had settled into my […]

Raising Twelve on a Nickel and a Prayer is the musical I wrote honoring my Mother and Father. In the final scene, Mom and Dad, played by Lisa and Omar Negron, sing of “the sweet life.” Love you Mom. Love you Dad. Francis Clare Taylor – Daughter number four.

Here’s some ~rusty~ guitar playing as a Mother’s Day gift for my kind, wonderful, generous, and beautiful mom! You’ve given me the world and you taught me how to be a good person and to be accepting of everyone and that is the greatest gift. You always root for us in whatever we set our minds to and have taught us to believe in even our wildest dreams. I’m sad I couldn’t be with you today but can’t wait to see you and your new puppy again soon. Thanks for always being a night owl with me and staying up to watch SNL and The Office and for being there for me always.

My mother is my true inspiration. I call her Little Momma because she’s under 5″, but her personality, heart, soul, and compassion are humongous! My dad died when I was 16. My mom had never worked a day in her life, but she put on her big girl panties and found a job. A job […]

At first I really had a hard time with this quarantine but I’m slowly getting used to it. I’ve mostly been doing my school work which can be quite a lot at sometimes but I’m trying to keep myself active and motivated. I miss my school a lot which is something I never thought I’d […]
