How to Stay Sane in Paris is the story of a young hip-hop songstress who melodically surfaces the issues of love, class, work, race, sex, and treachery in the not so bright city of lights. The main character, Lola, dares the city of Paris , in all its glory, to silence itself and listen to her fervent heart, as she searches for work as a jazz singer at a nightclub. Although she is new to the country and is unfamiliar with the city, Lola quickly learns the “ins” and “outs” on how to get recognized in the jazz scene and still stay true to herself.
