JANAE: Mid-30’s. Career educator, principal of the school she taught at, well-respected in her field and as a leader. She holds a PhD, down-to-earth demeanor. Dynamic person, students and teachers at her school might call her a force of nature. LUCY: woman from the past — real person but depicted fictionally as in a modern day documentary.

HAZEL: woman about 40 years-old or just over. Her lived life is at odds with the idea she has of what her life is supposed to be. CHERYL: mid-40’s. Devoted to her church & God, lives a life of charity and generosity, perhaps to a fault — needing to be needed and taking care of everything. ANARCHA: woman from the past — real person but depicted fictionally as if they are in a modern day documentary. Guardian angel, witness, spirit, present even in absence, with traces of Hazel's personality.
JACQUEZ: 17 year old, loves fashion, is a gamer an aspiring entrepreneur. He is a loving son and sincere, earnest boyfriend. JOSH: early 40’s. Highly successful in Finance but after being laid off finally feels fulfilled. Seeking more meaning in life, he has the courage (and temerity) to walk away from his career with no plan. He wants to be a supportive partner, but isn’t always sure how so can try too hard.
LEILANI: Afro-Latina woman in mid-30’s, Aricely’s biological mother. Their relationship has been fraught. Leilani has had something of a second life in the past 7-8 years; she’s completed an education, started a stable job, married and started a family. CRYSTAL: One of @ 1,400 Black nurse-midwives in America, mid-40’s. A grounded, thoughtful, in-the-moment, people-centered practitioner, but exhausted and overwhelmed by life.
MADDIE: mid-wife in her mid-30’s, excellent practitioner and dedicated to her work. Wanting and needing to be seen as “one of the good (white) ones” but her overcompensation becomes performative and can harm when she’s trying to heal. She’s overworked, keeping it together, but barely. DR. BONNER OB-GYN mid-40’s, direct, confident (too confident), by the book, no gray area.
