Directors Notes

“I want this project to be a journey of self awareness for everyone. My goal is to tell your honest stories as women of color and how the experiences you’ve dealt with, shaped you to be a better version of yourself today. As women of color we do struggle and deal with issues of the mind, body,and environments we live in however, we are strong! I want these monologues to showcase that.”
