Journey This is a 2 time NAACP Theater nominated solo show (2018) written and performed by Cheray O’Neal. It’s a transcendent love letter to family and an exercise in breaking the generational curse of stoic womanhood. A granddaughter searches her past to make sense of her present by breaking family cycles and awakening the power of forgiveness.
Story
It’s the day of her grandmother’s funeral and the grief has reached a boiling point. Journey, stoic and alone, is forced to face demons long suppressed while navigating the pull between self love and destruction. Death is the greatest teacher for the living, but can Journey learn the lesson before it’s too late?
This powerful, humorous, bittersweet memoir charts triumph over self-destruction while navigating the ebbs and flows of grief.

A Personal Statement from CherayI’m hoping the show gives people permission and freedom in their lives to find their truth, talk about it and ultimately heal. Time is short and precious, share your truth, that’s where the healing begins, you are not alone, be a part of something greater than yourself, you can be a ripple and make a change.“The pain and fear literally starts and stops with you”.
