The Mad Black Woman Show Act 2
Live Performance
May 2025
The Mad Black Woman show is a live improv show mocking the caricatures often portrayed in the media of Black Women.
Act 2 is me portraying three caricatures of Black Womanhood in media. Shaquanna, Anna Mae, and Assata capture the box Black women are put in through systemic bias and limited representation.
Improv movement allows for each live show to be different and takes into the value of memory.
The act of remembering is an extension of my storytelling method that is rooted in ancestral oral traditions of passing along information.
