The complexities of the Jamaican diaspora through the lens of three generations of women living in Canada.
Me, She, and Her follows its protagonist’s journey as a single teenage mother navigating familial and cultural expectations and the ways she raises her daughter while making peace with the choices her own mother made in the past.
