She Stands Still

Tasha Faye Evans

She Stands Still is one woman’s search for cultural identity within a bloodline of mixed heritage.

Journeying across landscapes, through history and into different lifetimes, Tasha becomes different characters, revealing her story about a young woman and her Great Grandmother.

“I collect rocks because they ask me to. Hey cousin, they say. Pick me up. Put me in your pocket. I’ll keep you warm. I’ll help you feel at home when you are far away.” — Tasha Faye Evans
