Chocolate Candi: A Sweet Taboo

By Jamal Lowe

In 1990's Mississippi, a down on his luck athlete Chikelu Olufemi & wealthy girl Desta Zuberi are very much in love. However, Desta's guardians have other ideas for her life. When Chikelu answers the Navy's call to deploy in a time of conflict, the wheels of fate turned youthful promises into tears. Eventually, Desta married a successful investment banker that became 'the talk' of their small town. Nonetheless, when Chikelu returned home, the fire that was thought to be extinguished....was all but over. Incredibly, antebellum love from a plantation in Southern Mississippi is the catalyst for an underlying theme that reaches into Africa's Gold Coast & the Philippines. Secrets, promises, greed & love identify ordinary people who are faced with monumental decisions that have power to change history's passage.
