LadyBroadway Martina Sykes Lends Her Voice to Occupy Wall Street

UF graduate LadyBroadway Martina Sykes and friends joins Occupy Wall Street movement.

New York, NY, October 31, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Singer, Actor and budding activist LadyBroadway Martina Sykes along with her best friends, LaQuelle Mills, Sir Brock Warren and Raymond Bennett occupies Wall Street.

As the daughter of NAACP St. Petersburg Branch President, Dr. Manuel Sykes, St. Petersburg-raised Martina is not afraid to take a political stand. “I expected it to be hostile,” Martina tweets. “But, they were playing music and everyone from age 18 to 80 were so nice. It was awesome.”

Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is an ongoing series of demonstrations in the United States based in New York City in the Wall Street financial district. Protests are mainly about social and economic inequality, corporate greed, corruption and influence over government—particularly from the financial services sector—and lobbyists. The protesters' slogan, "We are the 99%," refers to the difference in wealth between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population.

Before receiving her bachelor’s degree in public relations with an outside concentration in theater from the University of Florida, Martina graduated from Pinellas County Center for the Arts at Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg, Florida. She recently ended her first long-run production of Infinity Theater’s "Little Shop" where she earned excellent reviews.

Martina was first seen playing Bonnie in the Broadway workshop Raindogs.
