Picture a cookie-cutter, suburban, racially homogeneous neighborhood with less than 3% Black population. It has the typical American suburban charm of strip malls, subdivisions everywhere, Friday night football games, big malls, and horrible access to mass transit that made it difficult to get to Atlanta. We were in a bubble.

Before our show starts, in middle school, Lindi had her best and only black friend HANNAH. They were outcasts but they had each other, UNTIL… Hannah moved away into the city of Atlanta and Lindi had to fend for herself at the bottom of the social ladder. Lindi did what any desperate, socially deprived teenager would do… she changed her persona, and sucked up to the most popular girl in school MELISSA. 

Lindi slivered her way into THE RICHIES.

Cookie-cutter, suburban, racially homogeneous neighborhood with less than 3% Black population. Picture that typical suburban charm of strip malls, subdivisions everywhere, Friday night football games, big malls, and horrible access to mass transit that made it difficult to get to Atlanta. We were in a bubble so close yet so far from the action of the vibrant city.
