Roshonda Parker's Story

In 2021 under the direction of Artistic Director Nkeiruka Oruche, our Pan African performing company Gbedu Town Radio began exploration and research into the art and performance of death and mourning from the Igbo traditions to the African Diaspora.

As a mother who has dealt with a very traumatic death of losing my son at the tender age of 7, it was extremely hard to get thru productions. Trust me when I tell you, those were no fake tears. I’ve learned new ways to cope with my loss as I have never truly healed.

I’ve learned new beliefs concerning death and the afterlife from this culture and this has sparked a curiosity that has drawn me into visiting Nigeria for a deeper experience.

With that being said I'm asking some of my closest folks to help me get there. If you are able and willing to donate please click the link and thank you so much.
