Own your story. Celebrate your truth. We’d love to hear from you in the comments! What does autonomy mean to you, and how do you see it reflected in the lives of BIPOC femmes around you? Featuring: Sidney Clifton (Clifton House Baltimore) Director: JLove Calderón Producer: We Inspire Justice DP: Drew Shankweiler 1st AC: Octavio Estrada Gaffer: Lawrence Le Editor: Camilo Calderón
