Shantre Pinkney, Raw, Black & Blue: A Story of Trauma and Healing in a Community Experiencing Violence

Today, I’m joined by photographer, filmmaker, and writer, Shantre Pinkney. You might recognize her from Season 1, Bonus Episode 2 where I shared the pilot for her podcast, The R(e)ad Lounge, which Shantre uses as a space for the audio storytelling of her upcoming book, Raw, Black & Blue. On today’s episode, we talk about her introduction to photography, what inspired her to connect photography with written stories, and some of the themes she’s working through in Raw, Black & Blue.
