A native of Iowa, Black graduated from Northwestern University, where she received a B.S. from the School of Communication, then worked as an actress and a writer and producer of children's radio dramas. After marrying a theatre professor, she, too, switched to the academic life, still specializing in drama and often serving as a Critic Judge for the Interscholastic League One-Act Play Contests in Texas. Her experiences from directing, teaching, and writing led her to a M.A. in English and Oral Interpretation from the University of North Texas, then to her teaching position at Northwestern State University of Louisiana.
