She directed and produced Unnatural Disaster, a documentary about Hurricane Katrina. Boylston also has appeared in HBO's hit Treme, a show about life in New Orleans post-storm. Armed with a Master of Fine Arts in acting, a degree in education and more than 16 years of teaching, Boylston designed and presents a youth healing program, Empowerment through the Arts, in an inner-city New Orleans school. Sadly, the day after the storm, the contracts between the unions and the school expired. They were not renegotiated. Without the security that union contracts provide, thousands were fired, including teachers. Some were rehired later, but at reduced rates. "This is just one reason why I take being the first SAG-AFTRA president (in New Orleans) seriously," she said. Boylston has served her local as committee chair, member-at-large, secretary, vice president and now president. In an ever-changing entertainment industry, in a forever-altered New Orleans, Boylston tells us that SAG-AFTRA has been there for her through it all. "New Orleans is producing much work and growing. Our market needs the structure and guidance our new union offers so we grow in the right direction; especially true in a 'right-to-work' state," she said. In each issue, we will profile the president or co-presidents of a SAG-AFTRA Local. 70 SAG-AFTRA | Winter 2013 | SAGAFTRA.org
