This was absolutely beautiful. The title, the writing, the content. It was heartbreaking and gorgeous and just so moving. I read this for a class and I can’t wait for the next couple of weeks where we get to watch the PBS production of it. I highly recommend this. Stunning.
I didn't like this as a screenplay/poetry but I would absolutely see it performed. I didn't construct the characters in my own mind in a pleasing way - it felt confusing and cacophonous. Visually I'd see each character and scene.

I consider this to be a Bible for Black women. I loved this chorepoem play fiercely.
"I found God in myself/ & I loved her / I loved her fiercely."
