Black Butterfly Productions presents: 'The Belly Of A Woman- from the Motherland to Uncle Sam
Saturday Oct 4, 7:30PM @ 2640 (2640 St. Paul St.)
Written and directed by Margaret Locklear-Peck, 'The Belly Of A Woman-From The Motherland To Uncle Sam' is a story of the African American Diaspora through a Black Woman's eyes as she takes you on her journey through the ravaging of Africa, the nightmare of the Middle Passage, the dispassion of Slavery, the scourge of Jim Crow, the hope of the Great Migration and the glory of the Civil Rights Era. "Belly" depicts the struggles, trias, adversities, and tears of joy when she found the root of her guilt, shame and finally recognizing her worth. With a special screening of "Stop the Madness", a short film on domestic violence by Trakqueen. Proceeds benefit the Spiral Dance Womyn Wellness Center.
