A Forum Theatre presentation to foster social change on racism.
A trip to a coffee shop quickly turns Faiza’s day into one of fear, humiliation and abandonment. No doubt her race, faith and traditional dress played a factor. Nurse Mailynn has trouble finding support from her supervisor and co-workers after a patient refuses to be treated by her because of her race. Masego feels dismissed after sharing a frightening incident both she and her son experienced. How are things going to change for people who are racialized when her own partner and the police keep making excuses?
I Carry with Me, written by Heather Cherron Von Atzigen, is a play that looks at the differences and commonalities in what we carry as human beings from different racial and cultural backgrounds. What we carry can hurt, show similarities, educate, be shared, and enlighten. Join us at one of these performances to stand up, make changes in these stories, and discover actions you can take to foster inclusive and supportive spaces for people of all cultural backgrounds.
