STORIES FROM THE TENANTS DOWNSTAIRS - SIDIK FOF...

Stories from Our Tenants Downstairs follows nine different tenants in the Banneker Homes  a
low-income housing project in Harlem  where the tenants face both internal struggles among each
other  and endure a shared anxiety of their neighbourhood's looming gentrification. There is
Swan in apartment 6R  whose excitement about his friend's return from prison jeopardises the
straight life he's been trying to lead. Mimi  in apartment 14D  hustles to raise the child she
had with Swan  while waitressing at Roscoe's and doing hair on the side. Quanneisha B. Miles  a
former gymnast with a good education  would prefer to leave Banneker in her past  but cannot
escape the building's pull. These people  and many others  overlap into each other's lives (and
stories)  in ways that force readers to root for them  despite the unbelievable odds they face
to capture their dreams or run away from their pasts.
