CBL's Thoughtful Theater: The Souls of Black Girls
TONIGHT 7:00-9:00 pm in room 134 of the Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center.
In collaboration with Ms. Destiny Jackson, this will also serve as a precursor to the 33rd Annual African American Heritage Festival's Sunday Themed Event where you can meet the producer, Daphne Valerius!
The Souls of Black Girls is a provocative news documentary that takes a critical look at media images--how they are instituted, established and controlled. The documentary also examines the relationship between the historical and existing media images of women of color and raises the question of whether they may be suffering from a self-image disorder as a result of trying to attain the standards of beauty that are celebrated in media images.
The documentary features candid interviews with young women discussing their self-image and social commentary from Actresses Regina King and Jada Pinkett Smith, PBS Washington Week Moderator Gwen Ifill, Rapper/Political Activist Chuck D, and Cultural Critic Michaela Angela Davis, among others. The Souls of Black Girls is a piece that attempts to provoke honest dialogue and critical thinking among women of color about media images and our present condition—internally and externally.
