Young, Gifted, and Black

By Imani Willliams

Media Arts Space @ 108 E. Franklin

Imani Williams boldly explores the reality of growing up while black in America through the eyes of a young girl living in the suburbs of Atlanta.  An autoethnographic exploration of the impact of different events and how it shapes one’s future is both touching and captivating. Key moments are threaded together to show how pain, love, education, and personal reflection, encouraging one to use their voice and stand up for something bigger than themselves.
