Zuri- Black- Light Skin. Male (20-40). Multiple roles. Carries the essence of Black resilience, culture, and struggle across different historical eras. Each role reflects a unique facet of the Black experience—a young rebel of the ‘90s, an activist of the ‘60s, and right hand man of a club owner in the 1920’s who is looking for his time to shine. He has loyalty, but he also has ambition.
Shades delves into the impact of colorism across generations, examining how it has shaped the lives of characters Adana and Hanifa from 1619 to 2025. By intertwining their experiences, the story highlights how colorism affects individuals differently based on skin tone, and how these effects ripple through generations. Colorism has divided a culture of women that are stronger together than on their own. We address the issue of not just being black but being dark-skinned & light skinned females in American society.
