WRITER’S NOTE Trauma! Trauma! Trauma! The gift that keeps on giving. Isn’t there anything better to talk about it? Yeah, heaps of shit but that won’t make it go away, that won’t make it not exist. We have to talk about it so we don’t have to talk about it. Really talk about it. Its origin, its manifestation, its purpose, its function, as a weapon of oppression and a tool of evolution, our biggest hurdle and greatest potential. This is for my people who don’t have the words to express, the space to reflect, the right to choose, the privilege to forget, to forgive, to be forgiven, to be free, who survived, who are surviving. Who are still breathing. KAMARRA BELL-WYKES / WRITER & DIRECTOR
