This month in America, my community, my beautiful Black community, evoked the spirit of our ancestors in what is becoming one of the largest protests in history. We will not stop until we see justice. We will not stop until we are granted the freedom that was stolen from us 401 years ago.

It was the idea that a young woman could lose her life in the midst of doing such important work. The idea that the same community she fought for could so easily miss the danger she was fighting.

THE SOSU SERIES

​“It’s time to speak out about injustice. It’s time to speak up in solidarity”

The SoSu Series creates a space to highlight the work of Black, Indigenous Women (cis and trans) and Non-Binary People of Color working in the DC Theater scene through a sequence of video interviews. The artists interviewed will talk about their personal artistic ventures while also engaging in conversations around the untold struggles of being a Woman or Non-Binary in an industry that often directly neglects, mishandles and silences them.
Catch episodes every Wednesday at 7pm on YouTube.
