Akua creates a space of expression through poetry\, sound\, ritual\, and monologue\, saying Akwaaba (welcome) to the stories of the when\, what\, why\, and how of their Queer Black Healing Process. \nAfter the show\, there will be an audience Q&A with Naa. \nThis event will take place virtually. Tickets cost $20 general admission; $16 for Hugo House members; and $5 for students or anyone who is financially disadvantaged.
