Donna Marie Hayes, the author of These Broken Roads: Scammed and Vindicated, One Woman's Story. My book was published by Sibylline Press, a women-owned press dedicated to publishing the brilliant work of women over 50. I’m also a SAG actress, cabaret singer, New York City resident, and performer who can be found on a stage or in front of a camera. I’ve been featured on the Dr. Oz Show (Defy Your Age), Orange Is the New Black (Netflix), Black Girls Rock (BET), Celebrity Ghost Stories (Biography Channel) as well as in several other New York City Off-Broadway and TV productions. Most recently, I was cast in my first regular role in a TV series, Miss Education, set to debut soon. I trained at the William Esper Studio and Wickham Vocal Studios in New York City.
