Anyway, Nigeria's story is messy, she's learning new things about herself and her family and trying to act on her mother's wishes despite what her father wants for her. There is a twist towards the end that I did see coming, but I think it's still impactful despite that. There's just a lot of a meat to this story, and it's one that is still relevant to the current United States.
Other than the timeline issue, I did enjoy listening to this and think it will get some buzz when it comes time for awards season!
