TonyAwards: During the commercial break, the PoseFX star treated the crowd to a little spontaneous karaoke
Patsy, a loving but reluctant mother, leaves her daughter behind in Jamaica to pursue a long-yearned-for life, and love, in America.Tastee Patties on Half-Way Tree Road in Cross Roads, named for the intersection of five major roads in Kingston, is the popular restaurant in my novel where Patsy, a mother, tells her daughter, Tru, of her opportunity to go to America for the first time, which would mean leaving her daughter behind—a defining moment for both characters.
“Brooklyn and Jamaica” best captures the reality that Brooklyn is no different from Kingston—many working-class Jamaicans like Patsy are sold on the fantasy of an America that promises job security and freedom, only to realize that America has many of the exact same issues. “Black Hypocrisy” by Spice and “Color of Rejection” by Queen Ifrica deal with colorism, which I also tackled in my debut novel, Here Comes the Sun. Patsy, who is darker skinned than her lover, Cicely, was told that girls like Cicely were smarter, prettier, and more desirable. Meanwhile, black girls like Patsy are discouraged from dreaming of being anything bigger than maternal figures.
