bric tv ballet Maisha Yearwood's "9 Grams" Retells the Story of Being Locked Up Abroad for 3 Months | BK Live

Imagine that you are an African-American woman, waiting for a connecting flight at a Turkish airport. Suddenly you're stopped, frisked, and hours later, you find yourself locked up in jail in a country you know little about, for 3 months. That's the genesis of a one-woman play written, performed from the perspective of being a Black woman, and a lesbian.

This is Maisha Yearwood's experience, and she'll be sharing it with a live audience at Brooklyn Commons this month, as part of the My True Colors Festival, which aims to promote cultural diversity and social justice through the arts.
