Ramona King grew up in Queens, New York during the 70's and attended Andrew Jackson High School. She is the oldest of four siblings, Donna, James Jr., and Crystal Ann. Her mother Doris Sullivan worked for Ideal Toy company which provided special moments between mother and children --when Doris wasn't worn out from work at the factory. Ramona's first introduction to the theater was when her mother stayed home full-time after layoffs at the Ideal Toy company. Her Mom spread a blanket on the floor and told her and her siblings stories...stories she and her siblings would later perform in the basement on a makeshift stage behind a rolled up bamboo curtain. Her father, James Sullivan was a trucker who fell upon hard times during union strikes. Her Solo Show "On My Own", from her Maternal Dreamer Series is based on these events. Eventually she and her siblings were placed in foster care. As school was a safe haven for her, she scored high grades and eventually earned acceptance to Cornell University where she studied Human Development and Family Studies. There she met Tony King during her first college stage performance of Godspell. They married and moved to New Mexico where she continued to perform live theater at the University of New Mexico of which included Antigone in South Africa (Sophocles adaptation), Boesman and Lena (Athol Fugard), and Young Gifted and Black (Lorraine Hansberry). After giving birth to her first child, Tamarind, she began her solo performance career on stage as Storyteller and Personal Griot. Her two son's Vincent, and Malcolm were born soon after. In 1999 she performed at the White House for the Annual Easter at the White House Event. She's performed across the country sometimes with a child strapped to her back on school stages, in conferences, and festivals. She's the cover story for Abq Arts Magazine (2006), Houston's International Guardian (2000), Parenting Magazine,(2000), and is the host of the Spoken Word Hour (2007 to 2012) on KUNM Radio (Albuquerque, Santa Fe Public Radio). Her bio and story as Albuquerque's storyteller is found in Albuquerque:Three Centuries to Remember (A La Harencia Publications, 2005). She's come full circle to continue her acting career in film and television.
