A note from the show's creator
This show started out as the thesis subject for my graduate program and has grown into my passion project! After two long years the show is now out in the world and making an impact. I am honored to tell my own story of Black womanhood as well as the stories of other Black women. I look forward to continuing to share this journey with you!
Meet the team!
