GOD AND ALL HER CHILDREN
It’s August. The summer before senior year. It’s too hot to do anything and too close to the beginning of school to go anywhere else, so D and Gigi spend their days hanging out with God, a woman who has lived in their neighborhood so long that no one knew what else to call her. D and Gigi have been friends for years, but when Gigi receives an offer to play football at a school across the country, disagreement arises. D and Gigi come to God’s porch to process life and discuss their experiences with religion, family, and community.

SAPPHIRE
Self-identified real-ass bitch and Angry Black Woman, Peola is unlucky in love and constantly asking herself the age-old question: “When is it my turn to be happy?” After a near-death experience, she decides to make a change in her life and undergoes an experimental surgical procedure to get a BBI (Be Better Implant). Peola finally has a chance at happiness and embracing her divine feminine, as well as finding a man, but the implant and its creator are not without complications and not as perfect as they seem. Sapphire is a surreal afro-futurist satire about the stereotypes we give ourselves and others, the idea of perfection and the ideal woman, and the concept of change.
