Hosted by Sydney Duncan, our top performers have a cathartic experience and we invite the audience to do the same!
Sydney Duncan invites you into the inner workings of the mind of an angry black woman. This cathartic experience will give you a glimpse into how a black woman feels when she is not trying to code-switch, be polite, or less intimidating. This show is about the freedom and liberation of being one's self.
