The first part was led by Park Scholar Eden Strachan (’21), the creator of the award-winning, independent multimedia project, Black Girls Don’t Get Love. Park Scholars watched some of Eden Strachan’s ground-breaking work empowering young Black women and then met with her for a conversation about building a career to become an independent content creator with purpose and passion.
In part two, Park Scholars watched the short films of Park Scholar Crystal Kayiza (’15), who came to Ithaca to speak with students about her career translating activist passion into award-winning documentary films; she offered insights on the importance of relationships and sincerity in establishing and growing a career as an independent filmmaker bringing diverse stories and perspectives to the screen.
