Sasia Manigo: But Yet I Am Not Alone

Sasia Manigo was born and raised in Conway, South Carolina. She is a Conway High School Graduate (1990) and has a degree in Business. She is the mother of one awesome son (Antoine) and works as Branch Administrator for S&ME, Inc.

Sasia serves as an active member of The House of Prayer C.O.G.I.C.J. located in Georgetown, SC where she is also a Trustee Board Member and Choir Director. Sasia began singing at the age of 3 years old (in church) and she has not stopped since that day. In 2008, she decided to use her vocal skills in a different avenue thanks to her friends Janet Lawrence-Patten and Monique Jones-Burgess! She decided to try THEATER for real this time and it has proven to be the best thing she could have ever done.

Thanks to The Theatre of the Republic, Sasia has starred in DreamGirls (Lorreal/Michelle), Hairspray (Dynamite #3), Aint Misbehavin, and most recently The Color Purple (as Celie) as well as numerous Holiday Shows and Off Season Productions. Sasia also performs in a Band with her uncle David (M&M JAZ) which is where she accredits her diverse love of music. Sasia developed a love of writing at an early age and as opposed to sharing her thoughts with just herself, she figured it was time to share her words with the world. “Music and Writing are deeply rooted in my soul and they help to get me through anything that I may be going through. As long as I have God, My Smile, My Family, My Friends, My Writing and My Music my LIFE is FILLED to capacity!!”
