SUPERNOVA a.k.a NOVA | Lead
(Queer, Afro-Guyanese American, F, 24-32)
A junior attorney, who runs the risk of losing sight of her career integrity, as she finesses her way to the top. She’s grappling with self-acceptance and the assumption that she has to hide who she is. In this struggle she could lose the woman she can so clearly see herself sitting on top of the world with. Will she open up the space for love and career to co-exist? Or, in legitimate “Supernova” fashion, push herself to a point where she bursts, taking down everything she’s built around her.

The choppy waters of Corporate America, along with her unreliable love life, will test even the most seasoned sailor. Will she be able to push towards her goals while navigating the challenges in her life?
