In this episode of Stop Over with Nasuna Zimbe we speak to Actress, Dancer, Singer and Cancer survivor Lori Barker Whyte about her triumphant journey to London's West End Stage. Lori gained her undergraduate degree in Physiotherapy at Kings University London before embarking on her professional training at Drama School. 

During our conversation we talk about Lori's victorious ride to achieving her dreams. Despite having to leave drama school after less than one term due to not receiving a scholarship, Lori began full time office employment as she silently prepared to apply for Drama School once more - this time securing a fully funded scholarship at Urdang Academy. After graduating from Drama school, a gap in work followed by a challenging few years saw Lori going through alopecia before being diagnosed with bowel cancer soon after getting married. 

We discuss the power of the human spirit and how Lori managed to stay in the light through it all. We talk about how Lori's tenacity, determination, courage and gratitude for life lead her to finally landing her West End debut role in Tina Turner the Musical.
