Fragile State

For Manny, being a first-gen, gen-z, radical Black organizer in a world where every day brings “unprecedented times” was already causing enough of an identity crisis. So when Manny’s Grandma arrives, making her first visit from Cameroon in over 15 years, the shocking family secrets, unspoken histories, and uncanny masks Grandma brings along with her completely flip Manny’s life upside down.

Fragile State is an afro-surrealist coming-of-age story where generations collide and diasporas dance, as Manny reckons with where she comes from to make peace with who she is.
