'American Idol' Visual Poem

"Tell me Black people, what does our Heaven taste like?"
"Tell me America, what does your Heaven taste like?"

This short film explores the magnitude of what it means to be Black in America. It’s a callout to America and a call-in for my people to laugh, to cry, to breathe.
