Our show opens with 12-year-old Oluwakemi, or Kemi (Keh-mi) for short, on her first day at a new school. Kemi and her parents, immigrants from Nigeria, moved from Washington, D.C. to a smaller town in Maryland halfway through the school year. On her first day, her teacher mispronounces her name as “Kimmy,” and in an effort to fit in, Kemi lets it slide. Kemi’s passion and talent for rapping help her make a few new friends, but personal problems and the COVID-19 pandemic that get in the way of Kemi’s new life in a new place as she struggles to negotiate her relationship with her parents, her new friends, and herself.
