Professor Sandra L. Barnes releases two new documentaries in the series: Four Voices

Voices . . . being heard is as vital to life as air, water, and food. We may recognize sound, but are we really listening? Are certain voices heard and others ignored?

Four voicesThe series Four Voices offers the mic to young Black people who share their stories of identity, religion, and spirituality.  The four 30-minute documentaries focus on the religious and spiritual experiences of young Black members of the LGBTQIA community in the South.  Two films have just been released in 2022! They capture the experiences of ArJae Mirari and Maxine Spencer.  Each documentary is available to view free via YouTube.  Listen to their voices . . .
