My niece, Yannie, and daughter Tanisha helped bring this episode to life, adding youthful expression and a good American accent to the reading. I tested this enactment of my memoir for family members in our annual Christmas show this year. It befitted the occasion. I should have adapted it into a theater show to gain better audience acceptance. But we had no preparation time.
The girls were willing readers. And I thought, why not bring the past back for them to glimpse, it was their legacy. However, the audience did not like the long reading, saying it bored them. I admitted the language barrier was insurmountable.
What do my readers think? Any suggestions?
