Mission Statement
Our nonprofit is dedicated to using art, storytelling, and cultural preservation as powerful tools for justice, healing, and community transformation. We are a Black woman–led organization committed to uplifting historically marginalized communities—particularly Black women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and Indigenous peoples—through creative expression and intentional action. Our mission is rooted in the belief that storytelling holds the power to shift narratives, reclaim erased histories, and foster intergenerational healing. Through our films, visual art, public installations, and grassroots programming, we center voices that have too often been silenced. We produce narrative-driven, emotionally grounded media that speaks truth to power while cultivating safe, accessible spaces for engagement and reflection. Our signature projects include award-winning documentaries such as *5: A Mother’s Journey*, which explores Black maternal health and mental wellness, and *Bootjack & Red: The Mississippi Lynching Felt Around the World*, which revisits a 1937 racial terror lynching through the eyes of a descendant. Other films like *Our Rebellious Hearts* and *Water* explore themes of resistance, reproductive justice, and the ongoing struggle for bodily autonomy and liberation. We do not stop at storytelling. Our organization leads menstrual equity campaigns, installs historical markers, develops trauma-informed reenactments, and hosts community events that weave education with emotional safety. Each project we lead is a commitment to remembering what was and reimagining what can be. We partner with schools, libraries, cultural centers, and grassroots movements to deliver workshops, educational resources, and media that inform, inspire, and empower. Whether through art exhibitions, film screenings, or oral history collections, we strive to create community-centered cultural artifacts that honor the resilience of our people. We believe that the South is sacred, that grief is information, and that creative work can become a form of resistance and revival. Our nonprofit is not just about visibility—it’s about building systems of care, truth-telling, and cultural equity that go beyond the screen and into the soul of our communities. We operate with values of dignity, transparency, collaboration, and radical imagination. We lead with love—and work to transform pain into purpose. Our mission is not only to create media, but to make meaning. To spark necessary conversations. To hold space for what history has tried to forget. To build something worthy of our ancestors—and bold enough for the future. Through every story we tell and every space we hold, we move toward collective liberation—one frame, one voice, one act of courage at a time.
About This Cause
We are a creative justice organization devoted to reclaiming silenced histories, uplifting marginalized voices, and fostering healing through art, storytelling, and cultural preservation. Rooted in the American South and led by Black women, our nonprofit builds community, shifts narratives, and fuels social change through powerful, truth-centered projects. Our work spans documentary filmmaking, visual art, historical remembrance, and public engagement—with a strong focus on honoring the lived experiences of Black women, LGBTQ+ individuals, Indigenous communities, and those most impacted by systemic injustice. Our mission is to restore what has been erased, repair what has been fractured, and reimagine what is possible—through art that speaks, stories that breathe, and programs that build. We believe stories are more than entertainment—they are instruments of transformation. They shape policy, memory, identity, and justice. When told with care, stories can also become a source of healing and empowerment for the communities they represent. That’s why we work not only to produce films and artworks—but to ensure they are embedded in spaces of care, dialogue, and dignity. Our signature film projects include: • *Bootjack & Red: The Mississippi Lynching Felt Around the World* – A feature documentary exploring the 1937 lynching of Roosevelt Townes and Robert McDaniels, revisited through the eyes of a descendant and community members still living with the generational trauma of racial violence. The project includes historical research, reenactments, a commemorative marker installation, and healing gatherings. • *5: A Mother’s Journey* – An award-winning feature film that explores the emotional, spiritual, and psychological experiences of Black motherhood, grief, and mental health in America. Through the lens of one mother’s journey, the film opens space for communal empathy, policy reflection, and healing-centered storytelling. • *Our Rebellious Hearts* – A short documentary celebrating the resilience and brilliance of Black women who refuse to be silenced. The film interweaves narrative performance and lived experience to spotlight the intersection of identity, art, and resistance. • *Water* – The first episode in a docu-series about reproductive justice and bodily autonomy in the South. Created in partnership with Shero Mississippi and MS Reproductive Freedom Fund, the episode centers stories of women and pregnant people navigating systemic barriers to healthcare, safety, and freedom. Each project is paired with educational resources, impact campaigns, and community screenings facilitated by trained, trauma-informed guides. We also install historical markers, curate public exhibitions, and lead workshops on creative resistance, oral history collection, and memory work. Our impact stretches beyond film. We lead initiatives that address tangible community needs—such as menstrual product distribution, youth storytelling apprenticeships, and multigenerational healing circles. We collaborate with libraries, schools, museums, churches, and grassroots organizations to design programming that is culturally rooted, emotionally safe, and deeply resonant. As a Black woman–led nonprofit, we operate with an ethic of care and a commitment to intersectionality. Our leadership team includes creatives, educators, activists, and healers who work together to ensure that every story we tell is not just technically excellent—but spiritually aligned with our values of justice, equity, and collective liberation. We understand that systemic change requires cultural change—and we see creative work as central to that transformation. Our guiding values include: • **Truth-Telling** – Honoring the full complexity of histories, even when they are difficult • **Community-Centered Practice** – Co-creating with the people whose stories we tell • **Intergenerational Memory** – Bridging past, present, and future through storytelling • **Radical Imagination** – Creating from hope, not just harm • **Healing Justice** – Holding space for grief, celebration, and repair Through our work, we aim to: • Shift harmful narratives and uplift marginalized histories • Inspire civic engagement and intergenerational learning • Spark reflection, conversation, and meaningful cultural change • Support communities in using creativity as a tool for resilience and transformation We invite donors, collaborators, and change agents to join us in this mission.
