I enjoyed seeing the specific perspectives from different African (Nigerian) women in the diaspora, from different places all figuring out their lives in the international Singapore. They each bring their family trauma with them, and learn to handle their complicated feelings and relationships with one another. Although a man (Lani) had each of the MC women all up in a fuss, he is still not the center of their issues as they work though generational trauma, and friendships.
