Amari is trying―trying to show up when she says she will, trying to finish what she starts, trying to do the right thing, for once. On the day of her mother’s wake, she goes on a journey to sort out her life. Along the path, she discovers that change and growth create a ripple effect she couldn’t have imagined. What does it mean to repair damage done long ago? What wreckage do we leave behind in the wake of our actions? Is it ever too late to say what needs to be said? Created in collaboration with the YMCA’s Y-Haven community, In Our Wake explores the process of seeking to make amends and finding hope in new beginnings.
Featuring: Shaun Drake, Greg Emory-White, Ronald Favors, Karen Gay, Jaser Hasan, Adam Hughes, Abraham Jeffries, Douglas Johnson, Kathleen Kingsbury, Telisha Laster, Melissa Miller, Samantha Nelson, Willie Smiley, Asia Worley
