THE STORYTELLER 45-50 years old male, deep brown skin. Intelligent, inquisitive, and reflective. Committed to self-discovery and healing.
JUSTIN/IMHOTEP/ENSEMBLE 40 to 50-year-old male, product of a suburban integrated education, unaware until his 30s of the rich, true history of his people. His history is the lens through which he sees life.
KHADIJA/QUEEN HATSHEPSUT [HAT SHEP SOOT]/ENSEMBLE 40 to 50-year-old female, reared by parents who were followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammed. Deeply entrenched in the value of her people, she moves with a powerful sense of graceful regality.
JOETTA/BILLIE HOLIDAY/ENSEMBLE Female soloist-any age, survivor of an impoverished upbringing, she's lived the challenges of being black and female in America. Her voice has been her salvation and purpose. She wants to empower others to see themselves black, female, worthy and whole.
GRACE/QUEEN TIYE [TEE]/ENSEMBLE Late 20 to late 30-year-old female, product of a loving home where education and family are core values. She cherishes people and leads with love. An experience of direct racism on her job made her passionate about justice and equity.
