Proud doesn't quite capture the depth of emotions I feel about this project. As someone deeply passionate about storytelling, I aimed to capture the rich culture and essence of what NYC embodies. Narrating the story of the free-Black community of Weeksville Heritage Center through the lens of Erica Harper has been a profoundly moving experience for me.
This couldn't have been accomplished without teamwork, so a big thanks to Kristan Heneage, Molly Hawkins, Renée Russo and Tommie Battle III for their contributions behind the scenes, editing, capturing, and creating together!"
