What topics should BEMU cover next a community workshop or event?
(e.g., Animation, Dance, Music History, Stage Design, Film Careers)
Thank you, Mrs. Claudette Robinson, Sandy Christmas, Keaver Brenai and Mocha Girls Read Founder Alysia Allen for making Stories in Color a wonderful event.

Kids ask questions with such pure hearts. Every child deserves access to books and space to dream big. What book inspired your dreams as a child?

Three generations of Black stuntwomen.
Courage. Power. Legacy.

Representation in entertainment matters—and seeing ourselves on screen and behind the action reminds us that barriers can be broken.

💥 Stuntwoman. Icon. Legend.
As one of the oldest living Black stuntwomen, Jadie David broke barriers and paved the way for generations who followed.

Her legacy is power, courage, and trailblazing spirit—we stand on her shoulders.

📚 Our history must never be hidden.

Nonprofits led by communities of color face growing defunding. Will foundations step up? As founder of BEMu, I know long-term support matters. Let’s push for lasting investment.

In a Time of Nonprofit Defunding, Will Foundations Put More Money on the Line?
Progressive foundations have been largely silent in response to Trump administration policies that affect many of the nation’s nonprofits. But some insiders say a response is coming.

We honor the Black actresses we lost in 2024: These trailblazers broke barriers, inspired generations, and enriched the arts. Their legacies shine brightly—gone but never forgotten. At BEMU, we honor their contributions to the arts and culture.
