Chasing Dia
Chasing Dia centers Dia, a ten-year-old Black girl whose world has been turned upside down by her parents pending divorce, which she secretly declares as her first heartbreak. While away at summer camp, Dia discovers a series of astrological riddles amongst the things she’s brought from home, presumably from her father. Not one to back down from a challenge, Dia leaves camp and sets off to solve the riddles. Each piece of the riddles leads Dia on a wild chase that includes serendipitous encounters with conspicuous people who offer clues to the riddles while teaching Dia about community, love, friendship, and forgiveness.
