By Candice Iloh
When Adel leaves home for her freshman year at a historically Black College, it’s the first time she’s ever been so far from her family and the first time that she’s been able to make her own choices and to seek her place in this new world. As she stumbles deeper into the world of dance and explores her sexuality, she also begins to wrestle with her past- her mother’s struggle with addictions, her Nigerian father’s attempts to make a home for her. Ultimately, Ada discovers she needs to brush off the destiny others have chosen for her and claim full ownership of her body and her future.
