Too Grown For This

Too Grown For This is a raw and gripping coming-of-age story set in the heart of the inner city, where survival often comes at the cost of innocence.

Janiah is a sharp, determined teenager doing what she can to help her single mother make ends meet. Between school and late shifts at a fast food joint, she dreams of a better life—one where money isn’t always tight and choices don’t feel so limited. When she crosses paths with an older man who seems to offer everything she’s been missing—attention, gifts, and a way out—Janiah finds herself swept into a dangerous world she isn’t prepared for.

What begins as a promise of independence quickly spirals into manipulation and exploitation. As Janiah struggles to reclaim her identity and future, she must find the strength to escape a life she never chose, and the courage to believe she's worthy of more.
