🎉 Breaking Barriers On Sesame Street.

Megan Piphus Peace made history in 2020 as the first Black woman puppeteer on Sesame Street. Since 2021, she has brought to life the character of Gabrielle, a spirited 6-year-old Black girl Muppet who helps kids explore the world through joy, empathy, and learning.

Inspired by female performers at a puppetry conference, Megan’s passion for puppeteering began at a young age. Over the years, she has showcased her talent across the country, performing in Cincinnati and making notable appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and America’s Got Talent.
