Jade is an African American teen trying to find her footing on the streets of Portland, Oregon but she is far from your typical high school student. Attending a mostly white private high school, she finds herself stereotyped, wrongfully accused, pigeonholed. Yet she is artistic, creative, compassionate, strong and determined to break that mold, unleash her silence and become more.
