JaJa’s African Hair Braiding 🌍❤️

Listen since the moment I heard about this show. I was trying to figure out how I was getting to New York lol . Luckily , for me it came to Chicago !! I thoroughly enjoyed this play and it reignited my love for theater. The storyline, characters , costumes and props were executed so well. It tugged at my heart strings & opened my eyes about things I never knew. 10/10

ps , my man even enjoyed it so now I can’t wait to find another show to see 😁
