What Happens to

Brown Girls

Who Never Learn to

Love Themselves Brown 

2021

Shenny De Los Angeles presents a show of radical honesty about the scars she inherited from a long line of powerful Caribbean women in pain.

‘What Happens to Brown Girls Who Never Learn to Love Themselves Brown’ is a live ritual performance that explores a Dominican-American femme’s journey to self love through her relationship with her mother and their hair. By breaking the generational curse of relaxing one’s hair, is it possible to forgive the women before you for what they didn’t know?
