I'm a bit tired.
Tired of biting my tongue.
Bored of letting things slide.
I'm fed up with not calling things out.
Tash is a queer Black woman. She's also silenced, a lot.
If it's not by her well-meaning yet homophobic Jamaican aunties, then it's by her equally well-meaning yet racist queer friends. And let's not get started on the white feminists...
Things will change soon, though. She's taking cues from the master of speaking their mind – Kanye West. What could go wrong?
Everything I Am is a hilarious and captivating exploration of identity, power and celebrity worship.
Written and performed by Natasha Simone

Developed on Starting Blocks at CPT, this is a preview performance ahead of the full production in Spring 2019.
"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
