Beneatha Younger

I chose Nia Long to play the role of Beneatha Younger in the story. In the movie "Soul Food" Nia played the role of a sassy yet young at heart woman who had recently married a man who was not really accepted at first by her family. She reminds me of Beneatha because in the movie she was mature but immature at the same time. She was also easily influenced by others in the movie just as Beneatha was in the story.
