What I liked

Adedana is a wonder at metaphor and perspective, she puts words to feelings of grief and loss and she does it with a majestic smile that holds your hand with Grace all the way through your feeling even through the most ungraceful parts of the story and grief.

Bold, honest, unapologetic, i’m better for seeing the show

What I didn't like

I feel like there’s a lot more to be mined out of this show stylistically, Adedana is a wonderful storyteller, but I think that a more multimedia component would help tell that story even more powerfully and deeply, I also think that the show could be tightened up for pacing and laughs, sometimes it feels the performance or writing needs to be streamlined for clarity

My overall impression

A really sweet, fulfilling, and well structured story about loss, grief, and a wonderful metaphor that I will take with me from here on.
Adedana is a powerful emotional force to be reckoned with.
