Imagine a hat walking into a coffee shop inhabiting the character of a person. Now, imagine a person walking into a coffee shop animating an inanimate hat. That was she; it is she. Meet Grace.

What I know now, is that she, is a resident barista, siphonista and how she sometimes calls herself – a siphonist. Minutes of observing her handle the simple prop of dinner napkins, gave truth to her other expressed craft, she is an actress. No wonder she and her hat upon entering -coffee shop center- felt one and the same.
