Must See Film: The Librarians

I saw this film last year in a fully packed room of librarians, authors, teachers, and activists and I’m still processing it. What I hope you get from watching the trailer is a sense of the depth of what authoritarian actors are going to in order to stop the flow of information, understanding, and empathy. It is not about what is age appropriate , it is about removing public access to knowledge.

Side note: I have had two books I’ve worked on as an illustrator banned and I know dozens of fellow authors or illustrators who’ve experienced the same and it relates directly to this documentary film.

Panther Cubs short film

This is a great short film about the lives of 3 descendants of the Black Panther Party in Oakland, New York, and Chicago. These are the grown kids of some heavy hitters and have some very vulnerable and powerful words to share about their upbringing. With chapters all across the United States and many internationally, the Black Panther Party for Self Defense influenced activism all over the world and still scares the powers that be now. But that came at great sacrifice and as a child of movement parents, I know this one well. I’m happy to see this doc. Please watch it and share it.

Video-Makiza


I was introduced to Maliza via Ana when she did a guest feature on Julieta Venegas song “Para Mi”. Really great to hear and see some of the history of this group and hip hop from Chile.
