Through dynamic storytelling and music, it delves into themes of identity, self-esteem, race and resilience, offering a profound commentary on beauty standards, history and empowerment. The success of Black To My Roots since its 2002 debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, including its 25th Anniversary production in 2024, showcases its enduring relevance.
