00:00A journey is a gift.
00:11Who are you?
00:18We really wanted and I really wanted this piece to encompass the breadth of black and brown womanhood, really.
00:27It's primarily, you know, and I felt like to everything you're saying, Joy, it's like you don't see it, you know, and I'm like, that's problematic.
00:35And as filmmakers, particularly as a black filmmaker and as a black woman filmmaker, a lot of the work I'm creating is readdressing gaps, you know, just gaps, quite frankly.
00:48And also like the women in the piece are representative of so many, you know, we have an incredible star star.
00:57They've cast, you know, of beautiful, iconic, incredible women.
01:02And then you also have women who are lesser known, but are on the ground really doing work.
01:07So when I was casting this, it wasn't just based on beauty and grace and all those things.
01:13I was really looking at who are the activists in their field?
01:16Who are the women really doing, you know, really doing work?
01:20And so really making sure that the spectrum of us was in it.
