a Black joy infused 19th Century romance mini-series

After a letter from her childhood crush arrives, a young Black woman struggles to balance love and happiness with her responsibilities as matriarch of her chaotic and dysfunctional 19th century family.

Our goal is to create a period piece in an alternative world without the oppressive machinations of colonization. This world has no slavery, land theft, or gender oppression, allowing for the highlighting of Black and brown joy without Black and brown trauma. The adversity of the story will come from the day-to-day struggles of a typically unusual family.

110% funded on Seed&Spark!

This project serves two purposes, 1 to fill this hole in media that we never get to see, and 2 by providing healing to the community through the production and finished product. To do this we are involving as many Black, Latine, and Indigenous artists as possible so that we may bring as many possible BIPOC voices to the table.
