Overview
"DAYIAH, 22, is a recent college graduate from Harlem, New York. She lives at home with her mother LUCILLE 'LUCY', 50s, and her father CLYDE 50s. From a young age, Dayiah has been extremely talented in painting, and as such, she's dreamed of becoming an artist. Although her father supports her, it's been a challenge convincing her mother to get behind her as one. This has a huge impact on the way Dayiah sees herself, and what she thinks she is able to accomplish. When Dayiah decides to save the youth art program at the YMCA, a local community center she routinely volunteers at, she is forced to come to terms with the relationship she has with her mother and her loved ones. Along the way, Dayiah discovers who she is, finds love, and learns what it means to go after your dreams—full stop." -- Abstract
