I see an approach like "Fences" where the nuances of the culture and characters shine through. The retro timeline and geographic location are strong points to set this story apart. Including the masculine coming of age story to inspire young adult minds to weigh their choises carefully. The themes of love and doing the honourable thing can lead to tragedy as this story navigates tough decisions and their consequences. It is a work rich in value and experience and can be developed along various character viewpoints. Definitely an abundance of room for development of the emerging stories.

I am a caribbean born author from the island of Trinidad and Tobago. I started to write four years ago after persuing two associate programs at a local community college in my country. The need to nurture a voice for myself drives my writing. This emerged as a solution to the closed individual lives that we are encouraged to live today. Creativity, imagination and confidence had to be embraced for me to go to my next level. Experience my work.
