So I joined a social justice theatre group

Who's in NJ? We are performing in Plainfield on Sunday. Half of our cast are inmates at Edna Mahan and we bring their work to the public

barcelonagirl, that's awesome! I am close by, but already have plans for Sunday. Best of luck, this sounds great!

[barcelonagirl]

Awww thanks! I would have loved to meet you.

Our next show isn't until October but I'll keep you guys updated and you can like the page. We're doing the 4Ds bystander training and talking about mass incarceration of black women.

That so cool. I dont live anywhere near NJ, unfortunately. Good luck on your performance.

Awesome! Let us know how it goes. I'm about as far away as possible and still be in the continuous US, but best wishes for success.

It was Awesome! We got a standing ovation. Most of our crowd was geriatric but they were committed and asked questions.

After the show we take questions (for cookies) and one woman still didn't understand why she couldn't just compliment my hair (we do a whole microagression piece over the history of one black womans life). I was so glad to be a part of a cast that didn't expect me to answer and was so pleased that Grace was able to explain why she did research on the history behind black women's hair and it's linkeage to being perceived as chattel.

This is good stuff chicas!
