Documentary film-makers Tosca Davis and Cedrick Smith join me to talk about working while black and their film “TO BE US: To Work.” To Be Us Productions creates stories that center black people.
Today we talk about how the experiences of black people at work remains valid, the impact of racism and micro-aggressions, and universality of this issue for employed black people. We also talk about why challenging issues are often not openly addressed and using one’s imagination to foster change.
Highlights of our conversation include:
-Tosca shares her story
-Cedrick shares his story
-Why the documentary was created
-Working together as coproducers
-The black experience
-What we don’t tell our kids
-Tosca’s working while black story
-Why you should watch this documentary
-Affirming black folks
-Goals for the film
-Strategies for college success
