Synopsis

Join Gigi Gilliard in her sophomore work, “Hello Beautiful, Get Well Soon: When Hope and Healing Are On the Other Side” as she curls up on her favorite chair and opens up her heart to us.

Traditionally, Black women have not readily sought help for emotional trouble. Generally, African American women (and women in general) are more apt to keep private about the intense pain of life experience that may have caused lasting trauma. Pain from past hurts, deep grief from death, illness, loss, anxiety, and other mental and emotional challenges have often remained hidden or have been silenced. Some would say that we cannot heal what we cannot feel… and very often, we do not fully feel what we do not say.

In Hello Beautiful Get Well Soon, Gigi attempts to combat the stigma of mental and emotional difficulty by sharing with us her intensely personal (and sometimes hilarious) joust with mental and emotional turmoil. She takes us on a harrowing voyage through moments of despair and then onto triumph. She chronicles for us her experience as a “feeling okay” Black girl, to the “I am unwell” Black girl, to a Black woman rising - - and resolved to calm the heartache of her past.

Gigi is opening all the way up about her battle with demons that have harassed her, forcing her to resolutely seek refuge in the land of healing. She warmly invites us along for the ride from a dark place of emotional upheaval, through a bewildering path crystallized by prayer, over a bridge as she sought support …and then finally to a place of peace.
