Inspired by Dr. Maya Angelou’s powerful poem Life Doesn’t Frighten Me, this 50-minute original play by multidisciplinary hip-hop artist Paige Hernandez brings to life the everyday fears we all face—and the courage within us to rise above them.
Told through spoken word, hip-hop, and dance, the story celebrates every child’s unique strength and reminds us all that we are indeed fearless royalty.
