Hey hey Missouri feminists! The fabulous Shark-Fu will be participating in an event in St.Louis tonight:
A Girl like Me: A Conversation About Race, Beauty and Self-Image
Wed., Oct. 1, 2008 (tonight!) at 6 p.m.
Missouri History Museum in Forest Park
in the AT&T Foundation Multipurpose Room
Free!
Join us for a candid discussion about popular images, race and beauty. The program begins with a short documentary, A Girl like Me (7:08), created by high schooler Kiri Davis through the Reel Works Teen Filmmaking program.
Davis re-conducts the "doll test" used in the historic Brown v. Board of Education case and sheds new light on how society affects black children today.
Sounds awesome. Wish I could go!
UPDATE: For those who can't attend, you can watch the film online.
