FLOAT is a solo play written and performed by Maryum Ali, and directed by Jamal Mc Neil. They invite you into the heart of Maryum’s story as an African American Muslim girl and woman navigating life. Through poignant, powerful autobiographical tales, she reflects on how her father, Muhammad Ali, raised her and the challenges, triumphs, and defining moments that shaped her identity.

“I am excited to announce the premier of FLOAT on Saturday, April 5, 2025 at the Kennedy King College Theater in Chicago, IL. Ticket information will be coming on February 1st.”
