Georgia Rose by Onyekachi Iwu

A Black mother struggles to advocate for her teenage daughter in a conference with her white teacher. The play is inspired by the real life story of Grace, a 15-year old Black girl who was incarcerated in 2020 due to not completing her schoolwork during the coronavirus pandemic. The play explores themes of motherhood, incarceration, sizeism, colorism, and living in a world that sees Black girls’ thorns before their roses.
