Racism. Toxic stress. Birth outcomes.
How are these things intertwined? The short film, Toxic: A Black Woman's Story, seeks to explore that question...
Peer into the world of the film’s lead protagonist, Nina. An elite lawyer, loyal wife, and loving mother of a teen boy, Nina is navigating life (and pregnancy) to the best of her ability.
But sometimes the forces on a woman - especially a black woman - can be too much to bear.
In this highly anticipated short film, the viewer is invited on a journey of perspective transformation. Follow Nina in this day-in-the-life drama, and see the world through the eyes of a successful black woman who must navigate an unjust world while trying to protect the world she has created for herself and her family.
