Isis: Imitation of Life

Life! To help Negro women in the 1930s, Isis establishes The Thetas, a sorority dedicated to teaching them the values that will allow them to live the best life possible. However, when she tries to teach pledge Marva Connors her lessons, she soon learns her greatest challenge won’t be Jim Crow in the south or discrimination in the north, but the negative perceptions Marva has about herself. Can the goddess teach Marva to live on her feet? Or is she destined to die on her knees?
