Whew something we don’t talk about is how often the younger siblings are blamed for a family dynamic they didn’t create. And it’s especially bad when it’s an older sister and younger brother dynamic.

In the spirit of the #TonyAwards2025 , I do pray over this play everyday. I really believe Hattie McDnaiel and her story of resilience and triumph deserves to see the Broadway stages. Just need a NYC theater to take a chance on it!
