Black Girl In Suburbia Documentary Screening

In early October, we met in the Commons and watched the documentary, Black Girl In Suburbia, with the film maker Melissa Lowery and had a discussion after. 

Black Girl In Suburbia is a 55 minute feature documentary that looks into the experiences of black girls growing up in predominately White communities. This is a different look into suburbia from the perspective of women of color. This film explores through professional and personal interviews the conflict and issues black girls have relating to both white and black communities. 

Black Girl In Suburbia intends to spark an open dialogue about race, identity, and perspective among all people. In hopes that these discussions will allow us to look at perceptions of ourselves, others and the community we live in as a whole.

Thank you to all who attended!
