“She puts her characters in realistic situations and then comes up with very real consequences,”
- Tahynnis Newsome. "Through Shanequa, Taylor provides the reader a crystal clear photo of the ugly reality of systemic racism. Those who don’t have this lived experience need it even more than those who recognize it all too well.”

The highly anticipated award-winning play, A Little Bit of Paradise is now available in print!
Little Bit of Paradise is play about women who make choices in a world without many options. It's a play about coincidence and the magic that happens around moments. It's a play about defining family to countless individuals of the African Diaspora who haven't of knowing where their lineage begins.
And its a play about masks, how we wear them, when we wear them, and why we wear them.
