"I have learned that I have to keep on dreaming... I want to show that you can have fun and have purpose, be respectful and speak your mind. You can be both elegant and a provocateur. You can be curvy and still be a fashion icon. I wish this freedom for every person.” - Beyoncé.  Harper's Bazaar, 2021.

She is a graduate of James Madison University and the Yale School of Drama MFA Acting Program, where she took part in the development process of many new works as an actor, writer, and director. Spencer starred in and produced SLAVE CRY with her brother Jai Jamison, which won the 2019 Commonwealth Award for Best Short Film at the Virginia Film Festival and screened at the 2021 Pan African Film Festival. Her directorial debut, DAY 74, won the 2020 Curbside Shorts Film Challenge Grand Prize sponsored by Women in Film LA, IMDbPro, and ReFrame Project. Some acting credits include SLAVE PLAY, IF PRETTY HURTS UGLY MUST BE A MUHFUCKA, SOME BODIES TRAVEL, PASSION, and, THE WINTER'S TALE (Yale Drama); SUFFS (The Public Theater/Sundance Institute Workshop); SCHOOL GIRLS; OR, THE AFRICAN MEAN GIRLS PLAY (MCC Theater); ASSASSINS (Yale Repertory Theatre); DREAMGIRLS and THE COLOR PURPLE (Virginia Repertory Theatre).

She was also chosen for the inaugural class of the Broadway Advocacy Coalition Artivism Fellowship with her archival project about the first Black women judges in Virginia, THE HONORABLE. She is eager to tell stories about those who live in liminal spaces of identity that heal parts of the inner child, bring joy, and reflect the eclectic and generous folks who have shaped her life.
