Brooms

In an alternate 1930s Mississippi, magic is regulated by those in power and Blacks and other people of color are prohibited from practicing it--unless, of course, they get an exemption. Hoping to earn enough money for the exemption fee, or to simply move away to a state where they can practice magic, a coven of witches form a team to participate in underground broom racing, which is lucrative but illegal. Led by captain Billie Mae and her best friend Loretta, the team includes transmasculine Cheng-Kwan, and Choctaw and Black Mattie and Emma. As local officials try to catch them breaking the law, the group prepares for their biggest race yet, which could be the answer to their prayers or the source of their downfall.
