Synopsis

Nambi Kelley's monologue takes into account a black woman's experience with police brutality.

Kelley tells of an experience being abused by a white boyfriend and then being taken to jail because the police chose his side.

Not only is the black population marginalized, but women even more so.

Press Reviews

"These short monologues chronicle each author's encounters with the daily indecencies of racial profiling, stop-and-frisk, harassment, and casual racism inflicted by police, media, and society in general…each author delivers a brutally honest telling of their own experience."
