Opinion | Oge Egbuonu: What history tells us about Breonna Taylor — and the erasure of Black women - NBCNewsTHINK
These themes of experience, hurt and resilience are the touchstones of my documentary. The film is a love letter to Black women. It is a way of my expressing and holding deep reverence for us by saying,"I see you, I hear you, and you matter."
And the documentary is a re-education for everyone else. It is my hope that sharing the stories of everyday Black women resonates within the Black community and with Americans of every race. And I hope it creates opportunities to shift our educational systems, reimagine our new social constructs and inspire people to walk away with a newfound respect for Black women, who deserve so much reverence and care — now and always.
