ABOUT
"The Maya {Woman} in Me" is a
one-woman theatrical production, accentuated by live music and dance, written and performed by Tameka Bob. Tameka tells the transparent and timely personal story of love, laughter, hardship, and resilience. Set in New Orleans, Louisiana, the story begins with an all too familiar scenario during childhood, and walks the audience through her young adult life as 1/2 of a dysfunctional relationship, and progresses to an escape marriage, all while working toward a Doctorate degree. There are many twists and turns during this ride of love and life. How does she maneuver it all? She reflects on past experiences of iconic influences, while paying homage to Dr. Maya Angelou, Nina Simone, and Lorraine Hansberry.
"The Maya {Woman} in Me" seeks to educate and inspire audiences by telling a story of transparency, faith, and resilience, through artistic expression and the wisdom of wise influences. The Maya in Me is unique and caters to an audience who can benefit from modern day material, as well as literary knowledge: young adult females, college students, and those who have been directly or indirectly affected by substance abuse and women's issues. Yet, all will find a subject matter or
feeling they can relate to.
