The Purple Coat
Jona Villa is a proud Filipino-Canadian actor, singer and creator based in Toronto. A 2021
graduate of Humber College’s Theatre Performance Program, her work as a creator and
performer includes stories that place the lived experiences of people of colour at the very center
of the narrative. Jona is grateful that as an artist, she has a platform to incite change and to
listen and grow as a performer and a citizen of the world.
This poetry piece is the story of an incident that happened on the playground one day during recess. How simple wintertime fun and games between boys and girls can quickly change into crossing a line that young girls didn’t even know existed.
