This groundbreaking "choreopoem" is a spellbinding collection of vivid prose and free verse narratives about and performed by Black women. 

“A poignant, gripping, angry and beautiful work.” – Time

"Their voices meld, their bodies tumble and tangle together. And sisterhood becomes a single hydra-headed, multitongued entity, invincible and indivisible. God help the man who dares to cross it.” – The New York Times

“A triumphant event, filled with humor. Pure theatre.” – New York Daily News
