## Caption

“Through the course of this film, I was confronted with how that same light that Pamela Z brought into my life, that subtle revolution of doing things against the expectation of what a Black female artist in America should be doing–pressing hard against that stereotype that says the scope of Black music is rapping and “jazz” and R&B, that it’s informed by the streets and the church and the oppression of slavery. But here are people like Pamela Z, Matana Roberts, Lisa E. Harris, Brittany Green, myself, and many others who are defying these close-minded tropes and presenting work and living lives that prove that Black joy, Black thought, and Black expression are boundless and as diverse as the experiences of the Black people who create these works.” Read The Honorable Elizabeth A.
