About PAINT!
Set against the backdrop of a socially constructed notion that communities of color are “more homophobic than white communities,” Singleton, chases the metaphor of the rainbow from her earliest childhood memories in the church to today’s rainbow clad “twirly” boys and “dykes on bikes.” Sile guides the audience through the very personal journey of an American Black Midwest Queer Trans-person and her quest for the symbol of hope and ‘everlasting inclusion.’

SiLE has toured the nation with hr premier one person multimedia show “PAINT! a transformative project” and with the Fo’ Dem Ladeez Tour; a unique blend of live hip hop laced with innovative gender-bending.

Never what you’d imagine and always what you see, Sile’s favorite answer to the age ol’ question, “are you a girl or a boy,” is “I’m whatever you see and want me to be.”
