Ms. Daryl Richardson is a veteran dancer from Broadway, television, film, and stage worldwide. Founder and director of The Me Nobody Knows (TMNK), a non-profit organization that targets youth through arts, education, mentorship, and empowerment. This New York native successfully produces performing opportunities for youth by tapping into their innate gifts and talents of creative expression.

Today, Daryl has been wearing the hat of writer and creator for her musical, The Creation, the modern-day adaptation of how the Earth was created. This work in progress drives the pursuit of seeking investors who are interested in delivering stories that encourage, motivate and bring unity to humanity.

Standing strong as a survivor of a life-threatening fire that took her brother's life led to writing a work study book for students, Mentoring The Me Nobody Knows. This book is a tool used at workshop engagements worldwide, including this year's visit to Nairobi, Kenya, to mentor at the Second Annual Broadway Extravaganza.

Richardson runs the race with her steadfast spirit to inspire and educate young minds everywhere. The years spent choreographing and acting in Tyler Perry and T.D. Jakes stage production, Woman Thou Art Loosed, was the catalyst that inspired her writing. In 2004, she self-published her first book, Poems By The Spirit, a volume of poems depicting life's challenges, choices, and opposition, offering solutions through prayer, forgiveness, and love.

Honors include the KISS FM Radio Phenomenal Woman's Award and long-time affiliation with unions; Actors Equity Association, SAG-AFTRA, and The American Guild of Variety Artists. In addition, she has a proven track record working in over a dozen films and Tony Award-winning musicals; Anything Goes, The Wiz, Sophisticated Ladies,   Can-Can, Guys & Dolls, Queenie Pie, andEvolution of The Blues. Gracing the stages of the Academy Awards, Grammy Awards, Emmy Awards, MTV, Essence, and Soul Train Awards was all part of paying her dues and ignited her passion for continuing her education.

She matriculated to SUNY Empire State College and received her undergraduate degree in Dance and Musical Theatre, and she continues to keep the arts alive in the Spectrum of education.

New works are The Creation in Anime, Behind The Stars...The Untold Stories of Black Industry Dancers and another children's book, Careers From A-Z.
