←Recommendations of A Shero's Journey or What Anacaona and Yemayá Taught Me...

A beautiful shero's tale that leaves you thinking about Zoila and her journey for days. The battle with White Jesus is scary and essential, and left me with chills. Some believe there are no perfect endings, but this play left me "balanced, both internally and externally."

This epic magical journey has everything you could possible want in an adventure story. From tricksters to true goddesses to a battle against white Jesus, this play will tug at your heartstrings and keep you on the edge of your seat. Guadalís is touched by real magic and her writing is the perfect medium.

This coming-of-age story is about Zoila, as she feels the yearnings of the past and the hope for the future, both of which are moving her forward into being the protagonist of her own story. She dreams, realizing that pain can last as long as love. With support from family and ancestors, she comes into her own but (with two t's) it's going to take her own dedication to her truth to make the journey. Del Carmen wants you to know that your present self is a beautiful mix of your past and future.

Epic doesn't even begin to describe this play. It's otherworldly, it's a spiritual journey that takes us through a young Black Latina's journey as a young womyn. This play makes you want to cry, makes you want to think, while you trace your own past and shake your ass. Del Carmen is an unbelievable talent who is unflinching in asking the hard questions about anti blackness within Latinidad.

This is such an incredible piece. I was touched by its rawness and the pure beauty that accompanies it. A coming of age story that dives deep into the inherent racism created by colonization. A story about loving one self while finding out your true colors. Guadalís Del Carmen has an important play in Shero, one that needs to be seen. One that every Afro Latinx, African American or minority needs to see. One that could teach a lot of folks something. This is an important play.
