“A raw, riveting journey through the foster care system, surviving assault, and the road to sobriety—told with sharp wit and unapologetic truth from a liberal, lesbian lens. You will laugh, cry and get up and cheer as Renée gives you everything she's got.' “The stage is where I make an offering of everything I’ve survived—the wreckage, the laughter, and the life I built afterward. But somewhere along the way, I realized CROSSROADS was asking me to carry it beyond the stage, into the rooms and communities where these conversations belong. Fiscal sponsorship gives the work a road to travel. And when you buy a ticket to this run, you’re not just coming to see a show—you’re helping me build that road while I’m still walking it.” ~ Renée Santos
