In one life, she becomes a young mother forced to navigate parenthood while remaining in her hometown, while in another life she pursues her dream career in L.A.
In an interview with the Golden Globes, Wanuri stated:
“It is an incredible story about women’s resilience. On the one hand, it is a story about a young mother. A young single mother, who is trying to figure out how her life works and how she pursues her passion. On the other hand, it is a story about a young artist doing everything that she can to get a break in the industry that is so hard to get into as a young woman. On both sides, it is about women striving for excellence and that is what drew me to it.”
