Cultural Humility and Race In the Media with Venida C. Rodman Jenkins

Published: Dec. 2, 2020, 1 p.m.

I am so grateful for Venida Rodman Jenkins, and the illuminating conversation we had about cultural humility and conscious consumption of the media. I have realized that white women have the power to change what we see on screen. We vote with our dollars. Which means, with every dollar we spend, we can choose to support films made by and about women of color, to ensure that their stories are told. Authenticity. There are so many ways we can seek out these films, and right now, film festivals are highly accessible online. Let’s celebrate; celebrate seeing women of color on screen, their voices, and their journeys.
