Summary
“[...] I just couldn’t stand America and I was one of the first colored Americans to move to Paris. Oh yes, Bricktop was there as well. Me and her were the only two, and we had a marvelous time. [...]”
Josephine Baker and Ada “Bricktop” Smith were two of the first Black women to make the move from the United States to Europe in the 1920s. But in the late spring of 1934, there were three. What Miss Baker didn’t know is the journey of a third woman named Serafina Johnson.
In pursuit of the American Dream, 19-year-old Serafina leaves Texas to tour with the notorious Black Cat Company as a fresh-faced dancer. But when a little white lie leaves her stranded in Switzerland, she finds solace in an angel and the historic lesbian organization, Damen-Club Amitia.
