Phill Branch presents The Double Dutch Fuss: A Memoir In conversation with Cori Murray Emmy Award-winning director Phill Branch presents The Double Dutch Fuss, a raw and lyrical memoir as rich and insightful as How to Say Babylon, that chronicles his struggle to break free from—and live outside of—the prescribed paradigms of Blackness and masculinity that shaped him. The Double Dutch Fuss recounts growing up under the heavy burden of expectation—to be a boy, to be Black, and to be queer in ways that conform to rigid, often unforgiving norms. It is about the knotted path of becoming, while navigating the always-present fear of emotional and physical violence, and the threat of isolation for simply being who you are. In this, Branch explores the cosmic pull between fathers and sons, and how healing wounds can open a pathway toward freedom and wholeness. An insightful and surprisingly humorous reflection on identity, masculinity, and the quiet, radical act of choosing to exist on your own terms—Branch reads from and discusses the book with award-winning editor Cori Murray, before an audience Q&amp;A and signing.
