It’s Yaa🌸

I believe in supporting Ghanaian playwrights wholeheartedly.🙌🏾🥹💗

I had the chance to see School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play on Broadway, and it’s easily a 10/10 — the best play I’ve seen all year. Set in 1980s Ghana, it explores colorism, classism, growing into your confidence, and finding where you belong — themes that hit no matter where you grew up.

Thank you to Manhattan Theatre Club for inviting me to the talk-back afterward. Hearing the writer and director speak so openly about the play’s impact, and their own goals and ambitions in theatre, was truly inspiring.

I saw Jocelyn Bioh’s previous work, Jaja’s African Hair Braiding, and watching her take on this world once again was a full-circle moment. If you haven’t seen School Girls yet, go. I’m already booking another ticket to see it again. 🎭
