Description

Fierce Vulnerability - A Colored Girl's Truths, Trials, and Triumphs is the story of powerful women - Jean Marie, Ava, Vanessa and Simone, living the dream of black affluence in Washington DC. Each woman in her own time begins a dark journey to the underbelly of this dream. Ava is a ball busting powerhouse in the political sphere. Hers is a constant battle to prove her self-worth. Vanessa does her best to keep up her perfect appearances while catering to her own demons in silence. Simone shows us the cost of being superwoman and what becomes possible when we lean on our communities and our roots to lift us up. Jean Marie struggles with vulnerability and the personal power it brings through personal losses and challenges. We come to know them each through their own distinct voices. We come to see them more fully through the eyes of their sisters. It is through their collective perspective, friendship and sisterhood that we learn who they are and develop a sense of what it takes to claim freedom, power, and fierce vulnerability for ourselves.
