ONCE BAD INTENTIONS
A Love Story of Triumph and Redemption
Stephanie Johnson is a young, Black, and spirited, though troubled eleven-year-old girl seeking to find her place in a world that doesn’t understand her.
As she and her girlfriends navigate their experiences of friendship, family and first love together, Steph seeks a better future for herself – but will she be able to escape the hand she’s been dealt?
Once Bad Intentions is a redemptive journey into womanhood; a heartfelt story that unfolds over a decade in 90s Black London, where suffering and love, humour and forgiveness, triumph and loss all co-exist as part of a rite of passage. Its characters are worth celebrating: self-disciplined and morally complex, big on image, and who like to floss!
A coming-of-age love story where Black culture, the music, style and fashion of its time is celebrated alongside the resilience of its characters.
