The African Project
An African-American woman, Ida Bee, journeys from Milwaukee with her teenage son to the mythical African kingdom of Idu. She is searching for her son’s runaway father and the broken ancestral Ikenga staff that her own father had bequeathed to her with the mandate to ‘find the missing half of the face.’
The mother & son’s arrival in Idu unravels startling memories that would forever change the course of history, and how the African world views the Diaspora. -adapted from TessOnwueme.com
