Having always been fascinated with ancestry and moments of the past, Jessica has chosen to trace her familial lineage. In the beginning, there was no doubt in her mind that her family was previously enslaved in America. What she was not prepared to discover, however, was that one of her maternal ancestors was also a slave-owner. Stories from her immediate and extended family members - as well as a few of her own - have inspired her script, and now she has decided to theatricalize them and create her first solo show. The Muse Project is continuing to develop this important piece at a time when cultural history is an immediate and pressing social uncertainty and question.
