What I liked

So much more than the atypical “boy of color coming of age in a racial America”. Rather a tour the force of innocence on a collision course with awareness and quest for belonging – unapologetically. “Black when I was a boy” uses raw emotions, gut wrenching laughter and audacious storytelling to unravel the journey to find purpose when face real obstacles – race, disillusionment of family, sexual awesomeness, and conflicts of self-esteem. This piece is well written, and performed; it is a MUST See!

What I didn't like

Take even more time to tell the story…more about mother…

My overall impression

Loved the story…laughed, cried and wanted more.
