WALK MANY WORLDS

This series of short films focus on women making critical decisions or holding firm to the paths they have chosen. With hilarity and sensitivity, fierceness and vulnerability, they serve as witnesses to the most central moments of our lives. Do we meet violence with violence? Do we let “them” win? How do we find paths to a stronger self?

Before we watch a live version of it, we’ll also chat with game host Dujuana Sharese and creator Zamara Perri of Black Lesbian Love Lab.
