Kaypri

Born outside of New York City, Kaypri began acting in sixth grade and wrote her first play in the seventh. After high school she received her BFA in Drama from Howard University. In her undergrad years, she conceived her solo coming-of-age play, Babygirl. Babygirl, the coming of age sitcom/drama of a media-codependa-lova-holic, takes her audience through the first loves and losses of childhood, the peer pressures of adolescence, the great expectations of campus life, and finally to the realization that though pop culture might always be our first love, "Sometimes we have to push the off button to find ourselves." Kaypri has performed Babygirl nationwide under her Priscilla Belle Productions banner, and finished her late mother's civil rights autobiography. In addition, she received a filmmaking award from the AARP for her caregiving PSA "The Baton" and was featured on the AARP Website and an article in the Wall Street Journal titled, "The Unfinished Business of Alzheimer's". Babygirl's sequel, her solo play, The Good Daughter and The Do Gooder, explores her caregiver journey and is a New Humanitas finalist. She premiered it onstage in 2017 to rave reviews with audiences calling it a love letter to caregivers everywhere. It was last performed on Mother's Day 2018, a few months before her mother's passing and is being adapted for the screen. Kaypri has appeared in numerous independent projects as an actor. In 2021, she became a Stowe and Sundance Labs finalist for her Babygirl TV pilot. She also won a screenwriting award for her short film script Everything, was staffed on Sonhara Eastman's series SAHM. She is a proud member of the WGA. What is Kaypri up to next? Stay tuned.
