When Atlanta native, Trey, proposes to his “African Queen”, Ada, it seems her dreams are truly about to come true but with a wedding on the way, only one thing is for sure – she cannot hide from her immigrant Nigerian family’s expectations for much longer.

African|American is a Rom-Com centered on a culture clash, as it exposes the dichotomy within the Black cultural experience in America through the relationship between a home-bred Atlanta native and his fiancée, a first-gen Nigerian-American. Using comedy as a subtle device, African|American addresses major themes like colorism and classism that historically plague the global Black community.
