I AM BLACK: Her Story
What It Means To Be A Black Woman In America?
It’s Time To Evolve.
I AM BLACK is designed to enlighten, educate and evolve society past racial discrimination and cultural injustice. Each “LIVE” experience is crafted to guide us towards real “action” steps…for real solutions.
This powerful conversation will take place exactly 57-years after 4-young black girls (Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Carol Denise McNair) died by the hands of KKK members who bombed the 16th St. Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL.
We truly believe that “Her Story” is a great way to raise the consciousness of how hate crimes and police brutality impacts black women in America. It’s also important to note that over time the names of black girls and women start to fade…which is why it’s important to “Say Their Name” Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Carol Denise McNair…
Throughout the summer of 2020, we learned that many people had no idea that their was a 5th girl in the bathroom alongside the 4 girls who died in the church bombing on September 15, 1963…well, there was and she is Sarah Collins Rudolph…and she is was the featured guest on our Her Story special, which took place exactly 57-years after the explosion. In addition, you’ll met:
– Former Maryland Democratic Party Chair … and widow of Congressman Elijah Cummings – Mrs. Maya Rockeymoore Cummings.
– Angela White, Movie Producer and member of the Producer’s Guild of America.
– Attorney Sue Ann Robinson named one of the “Top Ten Black Women Lawyers You Should Know in the Nation” according to Black Enterprise Magazine.
What does it mean to be a black man in America during the 21st century? Twenty twenty has dropped some unexpected blows to our country (i.e. COVID-19), while also drawing attention to a problem that seems to go dormant, then reappear with a vengeance.
This time it hits a little different. Families have been quarantined for months, and all non-essential workers have time to do is scroll news feeds, watch television and have conversations around the blatant disparities that consume our world.
The I AM BLACK special is a starter kit to enlighten cultures of these disparities through the lenses of various black men in America.
We must humble ourselves and transparently share vulnerabilities, fears, insecurities and the unapologetic truths of the black man’s realities. It is through cultural education that men and women across the country will grasp the deliberate attacks placed on black men in America. This phase will also equip viewers with potential resources and information that will empower positive action.
