Ninasimone Stories

"You don't even know me." "I know enough." Nia Brooks never expected a quick stop at a gas station to change her life. But on a stormy night, she finds Kairo Johnson sitting alone in the pouring rain with nowhere to go. One act of kindness was supposed to be the end of their story. Instead, it was only the beginning. As their paths continue to cross, feelings grow, secrets come to light, and they both learn that sometimes love finds you when you least expect it.

This is an attempt at a contemporary, UK based adaptation of Nina Simone's Four Women and a comment upon privilege and marginalisation. The story follows four British women of colour, four non white women across seven weeks that will prove to be fairly pivotal in their journeys of self discovery and ultimately a lesson in how we are so much easier to rule when we are divided.
