The multi-talented Canadian Trey Anthony, known for her award-winning play, Da Kink in My Hair, is touring several NWT communities and taking the stage at the 黑料吃瓜网 Arts and Cultural Centre (NACC) in Yellowknife this weekend with a new performance.

Black Girl in Love (With Herself) Speaking the Unspeakable Things, promises to be an evening of music, comedy, dialogue, and insight, Marie Coderre, executive and artistic director of NACC, said.

鈥淚t's about the life of Black women and what they are experiencing in this world and in society on a daily basis. And also, there's a touch of humour too,鈥� Coderre said.

鈥淵ou will navigate through a different range of emotions when you watch a play like this and she is giving us a really good taste of the intimacy of what's up in the world of black woman on a daily basis.鈥�

Anthony, a Jamaican-British-Canadian, is known as the 鈥淥prah of Canada鈥� and is the first Black woman in Canada to have her own primetime series on a major television network.

The versatile performer is also a writer whose newly released book Black Girl in Love (With Herself) has been published by Hay House and she has written for Global Television, the Women鈥檚 Television Network and the Comedy Network, among others.

Described as 鈥渁n uncensored night of true sisterhood and support鈥�, Black Girl in Love will delve into what is considered the 鈥渢aboo鈥� topics of infertility, fibroids, miscarriage and black women and therapy, among others, such as questions surrounding motherhood.

Coderre said such stories are 鈥渧ery important鈥�.

鈥淲e learn something new when it's not our reality, and to me, it's a high-quality scenario and script and text and Trey is a gifted artist. We're very lucky that she accepted to come to the Northwest Territories.

鈥淎nd, you know, in the NWT, there are Indigenous woman who can relate to Black women on many levels. So I think it will be a fantastic tour and to have a cultural exchange,鈥� Coderre said.

鈥淚t's going to be a show that is very blunt, very transparent, and it's an intimate experience of what Black girls experience on a daily basis in a contemporary setting. And it's about the past, the present, and the future too, as well.鈥�

Black Girl in Love (With Herself) was performed in Norman Wells on May 20, in Inuvik on Thursday and at NACC in Yellowknife on Saturday.
