Dear America: A Letter From Black Women

Dear America, A Letter from Black Women will be pre-screened at NJPAC on February 27.

This groundbreaking documentary gives voice to the untold stories and lived experiences of Black women in the United States, weaving a tapestry of resilience, wisdom, and hope.

Dear America, A Letter from Black Women fosters crucial dialogue on democracy, social justice, and systemic change. This event is a call to action demanding a new approach to policy-making—one that centers on the experiences, concerns, and voices of Black women. The Dear America Project’s mission is to mobilize stakeholders, policymakers, and community leaders to implement the Black Women’s Policy Agenda and ensure that legislative changes reflect Black women’s priorities.

The event is co-sponsored by Women@NJPAC, YWCA Northern New Jersey, and Project Ready.

There is a VIP greet-and-meet with light refreshments at 5 pm. The pre-screening will begin at 6 pm, followed by a panel discussion at 7:30 pm. Join Shennell Barnes, Dr. Malik Yoba—renowned actor, filmmaker, and thought leader—and actress, writer, and producer Cassandra Freeman, known for her role as Aunt Viv in Bel-Air.  Also joining is Dee C. Marshall, CEO of Diverse & Engaged (D&E), award-winning business owner, and honored by Network Journal in the Top 25 Influential Black Women in Business.

This takes place in the Chase Room of NJPAC.
