The entertainer Pigmeat Markham was a member of her troupe in the mid-1920s,[4] and Gus Aiken also toured with her.

[3] The Chicago Defender ran notices and reviews[10] about White and her group including photographs.

Her group included Billy Young, Alfreda Thomas, Mary Jackson as a soubrette, Earl Frazier on piano, Amanzie Richardson as a comedian and dancer, Freddy Crump on drums, Jake Frazier on trombone, Gus Aiken as a soloist on coronet, Harry Smith on coronet and as a dancer, and Ed Lankford on saxophone and as manager.

[14][15] Basie described her as "more of an entertainer than a musician... She was a real pro with a lot of class... She was very light-skinned... the kind of small, nice-looking woman that you think of as being very cute.

And, of course, she always wore fine, stylish clothes and costumes, and she also sported a diamond in one of her front teeth.
