Storyline
With gun violence sweeping the city, a Black mother finds herself in the center of it. After her husband is killed and the family is evicted, Beverly-Jean makes the difficult choice to move in with her mother (Grandma Brenda) who lives in an apartment in The Village, a community housing project that has its own issues and challenges. It’s not ideal but like many 'temporary' situations it finds its own normality. Beverly-Jean is an unremarkable Black woman, invisible to society and barely visible to her community, her family, her neighbors and herself.

Loud and live for jokes and a good time. Dismissive to elders including Beverly-Jean. Can handle smoking fake joints without coughing.
