For all of February,
Black Lens, of Milwaukee Film, is offering films and events that
amplify and honor the Black voice. This week’s episode of Black
Oxygen features a panel conversation on Black Love and a Black
Women’s worth that was held as a part of the Black Lens February
programming.
This panel
features:
Winter Dunn, the
Director and Producer of the film Junebug
Sabrina Madison, the
Founder and Executive Director of the Progress Center for Black
Women
Genia Stevens -
Executive Director of Jumpstart Rock County
Dasha Kelly Hamilton -
Wisconsin’s State Poet Laureate
Krystal Hardy - a
Make-Up Artist based Milwaukee
This panel conversation
was powerful and we covered many topics including Black women’s
relationships with their fathers, pushing beyond the stated
narrative of what it means to be Black, knowing your worth as a
Black woman, love and so much more. Towards the end of our
conversation, Dasha Kelly Hamilton says, “love is a release.” Love
is indeed a release - in this season of love - I hope that each of
you can love yourself and radiate love to each other.
After listening to this
episode, please be sure to check out the films being featured this
month by Black Lens. They are featuring 30 films all by Black film
makers.
