Join us for a live reading of BLACK TO MY ROOTS and MWEUSI MPAKA MIZIZI on March 30, 2025, at 3 PM at the Tacoma Armory!
The BMTR Project is proud to present a special staged reading of BLACK TO MY ROOTS: African American Tales from the Head and the Heart by Kathya Alexander and Reneschia Brown, alongside a selection from MWEUSI MPAKA MIZIZI by Muso Simekha, a Swahili translation of the play.
BLACK TO MY ROOTS explores the personal, social, and political implications of Black women’s hair. This moving work highlights the complex relationship African American women have with their hair, which touches on issues of self-esteem, social interactions, and career opportunities—ultimately reflecting on broader societal themes.
