“ This play explores serious questions of identity and choice with a deft mix of humor and intensity. These are real and relatable women grappling with their views of one another and their sense of how to exist in the world. ”

“ What a dark and funny comedy about such a heavy topic. I love so many of the lines here, but one of the best was "Keep your biracial fantasies out of my uterus." Asante gives us two good friends at Planned Parenthood and their conversation about the baby that one of them has come here to possibly abort. This conversation is so very real and there's not a false note among these pages to be found. ”

“ An absolutely phenomenally written short that manages to adorn a difficult conversation with humor, pathos, and care. It's the sort of piece that stays with you long after your initial read, in part due to the compelling and deep questions addressed over the course of the story but also it's impeccable construction and artistry. A must read. ”
