Meet the brilliant Daddou. She invokes Ghada Al-Samman, the Syrian poet who commits her life to rebelling against the illogical logic of things. Daddou rebels against many illogical things in her life: anti-Black racism, anti-Muslim hostility. Violence comes from all directions and she learns to be at peace with herself and at peace in her relationship with her mother. It was a tough journey for Daddou, she faced discrimination against her in her North African home for the sin of being black and being the daughter of a divorcee. And yet she retains romantic notions for herself. She dreams, she fantasizes she escapes.
