STORYTELLING IN MEDIA.

virgins!

Creator | Writer | Producer

virgins! is a comedy series that follows four 20-something year-old women as they awkwardly navigate adulthood as millennials and love & relationships as virgins. Set in the multicultural hub of Toronto, Canada, their experiences are contextualized through their cultural duality as East Africans - Ethiopian, Eritrean, Somali & Sudanese - and Canadians.

*Still from the series

“4 Women of Colour gossiping about food, love and relationships is the Sex and the City I’ve always wanted!” What stories have you been dying to see told?

If you had a chance to read #Bey's cover story, you'll see that she says, “When I first started, 21 years ago, I was told that it was hard for me to get onto covers of magazines because Black people did not sell, now we know that was a myth.” 👸🏿

My mom was 18 when I was born. She didn't have a clue of what to expect when expecting and so at 9 months, while my dad was at work her belly began to pang and soon her water broke. My mom didn't know the significance of this - she thought she had wet herself and so in her embarrassment - she didn't tell my dad when he arrived - she just cleaned it up. She says even though she was in pain (LABOUR PAINS) she didn't want to make a fuss about it.
.
This is the epitome of my mom. The only sick days I was allowed to take as a kid was when the teacher threatened me to stay home, because my mom believes in working through pain to get the job done. She is so strong 👸🏾.
.
She was in labour for 3days before my dad insisted they go to the hospital. Once there, the doctor said, had she waited 30min longer that the baby would have died. She had to get a c-section because the doctor said after 3 days of the baby trying to push out, that she was too exhausted to make the journey. When she told me that, I repeated it back to her, "So you exhausted me before I was even born, huh?" It's my birthday so she let me get away with that one.
