Tamia Iman Kennedy is a multi-hyphenate filmmaker, focusing on acting, writing, producing, curating, and educating.
Through her Edutainment Company, Black On The Scene, Kennedy is able to follow her passion, ensuring Black representation in the film, television, and digital realm.
The grant will allow Kennedy to launch ‘The Film Club’ for audiences to analyze Black cinema, learn film techniques and influences, and engage in important conversations.
By partnering with the Cultured Books Literacy Foundation, Kennedy will target high school students who will also be required to read the books adapted into the selected films.
