Visions of We
Written by Shay D.H.

In the world of organizing and abolitionist movements, the public often sees only the hardness—the bravery, the frontlines, the unwavering commitment. Rarely do they glimpse the soft desires, the tender dreams, and the intimate passions of the Black visionaries who fuel those struggles. Visions of We strips away the armor and gives women at the forefront of justice a space to breathe, to imagine, and to dream of a world that holds them gently.
Through lyrical dialogue and poetic monologues, the play invites audiences into a collective exhale—a vision of freedom that is not just about activism, but about rest, love, and the beauty of shared humanity. It is a powerful reminder that the fight for justice is also a fight for joy.
