In this powerful debut reminiscent of Barry Jenkins's Moonlight, two men in Atlanta reconcile their human dignity against the price of their professional ambitions working for a real estate development company displacing Black residents in preparation for the 1996 Olympics.
At face value, Jacob and Daniel are completely different. A recent Morehouse graduate and Brooklyn transplant, Jacob fears that accepting the truth of his sexuality will disappoint the hopes his parents have for him to lead a respectable life. Grieving the death of his mother while searching for answers about a father he has never known, Daniel, an Atlanta native, has resigned himself to the reality that men who love men don’t have happy endings.
Thank you for visiting me here at WritBlackAtU.com (write-black-at-u-dot-com). I write because my pen to paper is a master stroke against my invisibility. I write because words blazing across a page are a healing balm to my Black Gay Self. I write because of Essex and Joseph and Randall. I write because of Rustin and Baldwin. I write truth in a world that doubts my existence.
I welcome you to join me on this journey.
