Vanessa is a great storyteller. Her writing and performance showed the complexity of the vulnerability and strength it takes to grow into a woman. Her little girl is amazing and her woman is true beauty. ... full review

A well written, expertly acted play that pulls the audience in through universal emotional themes- a story of healing, growth and sensitivity. Vanessa's characters express the inner monologues we all wrestle with, at times hilarious, vicious, kind, supportive or weepy. She masterfully reveals how life experiences can create these voices and how to address and heal them. Inspirational, entertaining, and skillfully written and performed. I love it and highly recommend seeing this show!... full review
