Miranda

His play that year was an offshoot of Trojan Women, and the entire concept of the play was feminist theater, which is just so ironic.

He turned it into Trojan Women 2.0, written by Charles Mee.

And the way that this play was staged is that all of the members of the chorus were prisoners of this make-believe kingdom.

Almost every single woman of color in the department was in this play.

He made us all be prisoners and all of the white girls that were in the department, a lot of them were the royalty members in this show.

He would text me a lot throughout the rehearsal process about how beautiful the scenes that I was in were or how he needed me to be for the rest of the chorus because I was like the chorus leader.

I would email him instead of texting him because I wanted to be clear that I didn't want to speak to him in that way.

But I also didn't really have the tools to tell him that.

To your knowledge, did he target other women of color?

No.

The real truth is that there were not a ton of women of color at the university, just in general.

But he definitely paid the women of color, I would say, special attention in the vein of being an ally is, I think, how he would choose to describe it at the time.

Giving women of color more opportunity for specific things like shows and making sure that they were more represented.

Here's Rihanna.

Second semester of my senior year, we traveled again.

We went to KCACTF in Texas.

I was so ready to graduate.

I was over being in school there.

KCACTF

should have been the most exciting trip for me because it was my last one.
