#125 Sonia Lowman

Sonia Lowman is the Writer and Director of BLACK BOYS, a feature-length documentary illuminating the full humanity of Black boys and men in America. Today we reflect on key points in the film like:  mirrors and windows, less than two percent of teachers being black men, analyzing your own biases, collaborating with organizations and making this a co-creation, and much more. Watch “Black Boys” for free on NBC’s Peacock platform: https://www.peacocktv.com/black-boys https://www.blackboysfilm.com/ You can also watch Sonia’s film “Teach Us All” on Netflix. I need to watch it too. :)  Sonia's links: https://www.sonialowman.com/ https://www.instagram.com/sonia_lowman/ For inquiries or submissions to be a featured on an episode, e-mail: kristin@creativity.chat Kristin's instagram: http://instagram.com/kristinmwitcher
