Black Latina The Play

The characters bridge the gap between all Black Latinas from skin color and hair textures, to facial features and backgrounds. Black Latina not only deals with the "traditional" black/white ideas of racism within the U.S., but also exposes complex internalized racism between African Americans, Hispanics, and Black Latinos.

The five emotions deal with the personal and thought-provoking testimony of both the plight and appreciations of being a Black Latina. The climactic arc resolves the story (from Anger to Empowerment) showing all sides of a multifaceted spectrum. From denouncing oneself and “fitting in” to embracing the beauty and pride of “being Black”, Black Latina lets the world know exactly who we are.
