Malkia K. Lydia

To celebrate year #55, I am aiming for 550 new audience subscribers (see list sign up below) as well as video viewers and donors this month. I am an "interdependent" filmmaker and cultural worker. After 20+ years of contributions to the documentary field as an archival producer, short film director, educator, and convener, I am happily completing my first two feature docs as Director/Producer. (Get it, get it!) My mission is to recover authentic stories about Black community life, and to help us all better understand the human experience through an historical lens. I would love for you to check out my work and July happenings in the links below. Meda w'ase (Thank you), Malkia kuyamba.com
