From a small mountain town in Appalachia to Broadway, film and television, commencement 2026 speaker Kimberly Belflower shared the winding path that led her to becoming a Tony-nominated playwright.

Her message to graduates: don’t hide the parts of yourself that make you who you are. And sometimes the meandering path is the one that leads exactly where you need to go.
