This is a powerful play about healing after tragedy! Some will take matters into their own hands and ……you’ll need to hurry and buy your ticket. You won’t want to miss what happens. I know because I’m in it! I am proud and grateful to be in this wonderful play written and directed by Lenora Brown-Rodriguez.

🎭 About the Play
ON MY TERMS tells the powerful story of several individuals who come together at a Grief Support Group for those who have lost loved ones to police brutality. As emotions rise, one member dares to confront the pain directly, turning heartbreak into hope.
