Things Never Said
Narrative Feature
Kalindra Stepney is an emerging spoken-word poetess, someone who willingly speaks her thoughts, but she’s an artist who has yet to find her voice. A native of California, Kal has dreams of taking her poems to New York and the infamous Nuyorican Café stage. Haunted by a miscarriage and saddled with Ronnie, a husband who’s angry and without direction – he uses his fists as a form of speech – Kal tries desperately to find an outlet for her struggling voice. Adding to her distress is best friend and poet compatriot Daphne, also grappling with love liabilities. Her boyfriend Steve is a lout who willfully and regularly takes advantage. Kal doesn’t approve. These scenarios, coupled with the surprise and uncertainty of new love Curtis Jackson, hit Kal where she’s most vulnerable. Just as she helps Curtis with unchallenged perceptions about a past relationship and his estranged young daughter, Curtis’ influence leads Kal to dig deeper, to find her voice, confidence and sense of self-worth.
