COTO: Chocolate On The Outside |
In COTO: Chocolate on the Outside by April Turner, four
African-American coworkers set out for a team building workshop
retreat in the snow blown Appalachian Mountains. The roads soon
become impassable, leaving them stranded in a dusty, ill-equipped
cabin. Despite personality conflicts, the four eventually agree to
pass the time by engaging in a series of games. Through these games
they inadvertently confront one another and explore intra-racial
issues that afflict many African Americans; matters of hair,
complexion, selling out, black love and middle class guilt. They
ultimately find themselves gaining the courage to embark on a path
of greater understanding through the power of forgiveness. After
eight years of touring colleges, why is chocolate on the outside
still such an effective program?
It's funny!
