OUR KIND OF PEOPLE - 8th NETWORK DRAFT 12-21-20
15.
ANGELA Well, you've certainly done that. Franklin Holdings is the backbone of Black business in America. I'm Angela Vaughn. JOSEPHINE She's my guest. Angela and her family are here for the summer. LEAH Lovely to meet you and your... Husband? Is he here? ANGELA I stopped walking with a man as my shield a while ago. I'm a single mother. Speaking of reparations... (she pulls out a check)
I love that you are raising money for the Single Mother Outreach. Here's a donation on behalf of my business, Eve's Crown. Angela tries to hand Leah a check. Leah is offended -- LEAH My fundraisers aren't usually so transactional. The donation box is at the front. It’s awkward. Raymond steps in to divert, knowing his wife is not in the greatest mood tonight -- RAYMOND Eve's Crown? I know that name... ANGELA
I applied for the small business incubator program at Franklin. RAYMOND Well, it’s timely. Black hair care is hot right now. ANGELA A Black woman's relationship with her hair is not some fad. It's more complicated than any marriage, any man, any job she'll ever have. It's a relationship that starts before she can even walk, continues through the moment her mother teaches her how to do her hair... It's generational and personal. It's more than "hot right now" and I’d be a great fit for the incubator program.
