How Black Mothers Say I Love You

February 1 – 25, 2023

Directed by Desiree Dabney

Featuring Zakiyyah Jackson, Dorothy “Dee D” Miller, Bailey Robinson and Shalandis Wheeler Smith

Hard-working Daphne left her two young daughters in Jamaica for six years to create a better life for them in America. Now thirty years later, proud and private, Daphne is relying on church and her nearby dutiful daughter to face a health crisis. But when feisty activist Claudette arrives unexpectedly from far away to help out, her arrival stirs up the buried past, family ghosts and the burning desire for unconditional love before it’s too late.
