Local filmmaker and founder of Our Voices Project, Jackie McGriff, and Poet and Musician Taurus Savant talk about the importance of Black storytelling and creating safe spaces for sharing lived experiences through the lens of film and performance. Jackie McGriff (she/her) is a published documentary, editorial, and event photographer and an award-winning documentary filmmaker who centers the stories of Black, Brown, and Indigenous peoples. She splits her time between visual storytelling through her two businesses—Jackie Photography and Our Voices Project LLC —getting lost (on purpose) with her camera on photo walks, building community, and watching movies. You can learn more about Our Voices Project and their mission at www.ourvoicesproject.com.
Taurus Savant is a queer Black artist, singer/songwriter, composer, published author, and community advocate that moves in steely resolve in the names of authenticity, perseverance, and audacity.
