Reflections Unheard: Black Women in Civil Rights

Reflections Unheard: Black Women in Civil Rights is a feature documentary film about the marginalization of black women between the Black Power and Feminist movements of the 1960s and 70s.

In the midst of a culture that either erases or misrepresents the black female image, I have made it a principle to base my films on the authentic and honest voices, experiences and portrayals of black women. My sole mission for this film is to provide a unique and valuable context in which our both our history and contemporary society can be reflected upon, and to provide a platform in which marginalized black female voices can be heard and validated. 

One of the most important aspects of this project is that people witness a film about black women that is actually made by a black woman. Most of the time, our stories are re-written (and re-mixed) for us by other people, and handed to us in various formats throughout our culture and education. I am certain that through this film, people will see a major difference in how our history and culture can be viewed, depending on the perspective.
