Welcome To HTD & Company
Who’s HTD?
(“Hey There’s Dalyla” )
“Dalyla, not Delilah—though it dances on the tongue just as sweetly. My Pops put Monique on the birth certificate, but my Ma fought for Dalyla. Not Monique. Not Delilah. Just Dalyla.
D-a-l-y-l-a.”
Dalyla is a southern griot with roots in anthropology, biology, and theater, I come from a lineage of culture-bearers. I talk, I listen, I dive deep into dialogue—whether it's on the page, stage, screen, or my favorite spot, the porch, or around a campfire. My words are often wrapped in bold question marks, sparking raised eyebrows and shy smiles.
