Our inaugural project is Women of Faith: Coping with Trauma. This mental health documentary takes an in-depth look into the lives of four women who are survivors of childhood sexual abuse, but who also triumphantly find joy, hope and peace through their faith in God and their community. We know it is a tough subject, but let’s have the tough conversation so women, children and families can find healing.

Why this topic? Thousands of children of all different ethnicities are sexually abused every year in the United States. The topic is relevant after numerous claims of abuse have recently been in the news – from the #metoo campaign to USA Women’s Gymnastics, Boy Scouts of America and the Catholic Church.

Black women and Lesbian activists invest the city to ask “who ordered Marielle Franco’s murder?”
