Beyond the Binary: Why Pronouns Matter
Black Public Media (BPM) is going beyond the gender binary and weighing in on the pronoun debate with a short film series — part of its latest BE HEARD! social media campaign, which tackles pressing social issues. The Harlem-based national media arts nonprofit dedicated to creating and producing media content about the Black experience has commissioned Feral Films and Sophia Clark (they/them) to direct I Am Who I Say I Am, a three-part series of micro documentaries with feel-good stories of gender affirmation. Films will be released biweekly on Thursdays beginning October 6 during LGBT History Month as a lead up to Transgender Awareness Week (November 13-19).
