Time and time again, Black people find ways to communicate in spaces where they weren’t allowed to. We communicate through hair, art, music, dance, food, and even a head nod, a smile at the other Black person in the room. We find a way to speak. This play follows Haddie as she flashes through lifetimes of Blackness, finding her way to speak, finding her way to freedom.
