1950s Birmingham, Alabama to falling in love; to self love; Witness her transformation
through text, humor, drama, poetry and song.
Audience comments
"Cherie Danielle's energy is infectious....a young actress with wisdom beyond her years....I enjoyed Isis'
journey immensely..." - Stephanie Calla, Owner of La Maison d'Art
"Cherie captured me from her opening monologue....her hair monologues were hilarious....one minute I
was laughing my butt off and then she transported the audience into a dramatic historical odyssey of
race in America via her character, Isis' journey to self - discovery....This play should be seen by
everyone...." - Clarence Mujahid Ali, Producer
"Cherie is unapologetic in rendering Isis' story....character transitions...her depth ...range and blending
of today's Hip-Hop genre with the culture of the 60's was so refreshing.... "
