I am in pre-production on a short film that focuses on Black Women, and the importance of reconciling mental health in the face of trauma. Currently, I am a mentee in Unlock Her Potential, a mentorship program that allows Women of Color to be mentored by influential figures in entertainment, arts, media, and varying disciplines. I am currently being advised by and actor and producer, and one of the particular goals of my mentorship is to not only complete this film, but promote to where it will be entered into film festivals and screened.
If awarded, this space/location will be used for principal photography/filming to aid in the completion of this project.
Peerspace is on a mission to bring people together. We believe it is impossible to achieve that goal unless we also fight for equality and access to resources in the communities we serve.
Having a space to gather, create, and exchange ideas is an important part of any movement. In order to magnify voices that are often quieted, Peerspace will sponsor venues for people who challenge prejudice and fight for social justice and equality.
Each quarter, we will sponsor space for three projects that are relevant to our community. These projects can range from fundraisers and educational initiatives to art exhibits and photo series.
