Project Summary
Bolude and Carmen, lifelong friends, navigate their identities in America. Bolude, the daughter of a Nigerian diplomat, and Carmen, a vigilante mestiza, face challenges in defining themselves. Bolude's engagement to an Australian man prompts a clash with her traditional father, Akin, who sets a condition for his blessing. Together, Bolude and Carmen embark on a journey through Sydney, seeking welcomes from diverse communities. Through their experiences, they learn to harmonize their cultural identities.
