Grad student Ahmad Jones drives for a rideshare company. He receives a request from a mysterious woman — a poet. They connect over music, but she seems to ignore him. When the opportunity arises to see her again, Ahmad must learn how to communicate in ways beyond his understanding to win her heart.


With a nod to "Love Jones," "Poetic Justice" and other ‘90s Black romantic classics, Speak Up Brotha! flirts with Afro-futurism while exploring the synergy of connection.
