'Have a seat in my chair..'
Today we're at the braiding salon with Ghanaian American playwright Jocelyn Bioh, creator of the Tony Award-winning Broadway play, Jaja's African Hair Braiding.
We chat with her about braiding salon culture, and the different kinds of people she portrays in the play. We explore the African American-African immigrant dynamics that can happen at braiding salons, we talk immigrant life, audiences that maybe don't get it, and the practice of Black playwrights holding "Black out" nights at the theatre.
