North Amerikay

After a harrowing loss, a young Irish Catholic woman and her family adjust to life in 1915 Chicago. Ultimately it's the Great Migration that changes Bernadette Daley’s world forever. Formerly enslaved people and their ancestors travel North in search of true freedom - among them, Anton Leroux, a compelling young Black man who takes up residence in Bernadette's home and her heart.

After hugging My So-Called Life creator Winnie Holzman in 2015, Elizabeth's storytelling powers mysteriously magnified. Now a flourishing Stowe Story Labs Launch Fellow, WeScreenplay Diverse Voices Finalist, and Issa Rae/Paul Feig Teen Movie Contest Finalist, industry folks say Elizabeth's "dialogue sparkles"; her writing is “tonally sharp and atmospheric”, "hilariously awkward", and has "a little something for everybody."
