Sensitive topics aren’t easy to address, but they are necessary until true change occurs. The temptation is to become angry and choose sides instead of taking the time to pause, inject empathy and simply breathe. Jamie Burton-Oare, CEO of Jomaja Films, and actor Stephen Hill, speak to the power of storytelling through their impactful short film, Breathe.

Highlights include:

Marking the 10th anniversary of Eric Garner’s death with a project to address systemic injustice and explore resilience and humanity in moments of crisis.

The Journey Breathe the Film is on for recognition and with the goal of being nominated for “Live Action Short Film’ award by the Academy.

The creative process behind Breathe, including collaborations with amazing actors, key figures and Grammy-winning artist Shabazz Palaces.

Magnum P.I., Voiceovers and Auditions.

The value of networking, including HBCUs and Film Festivals.

Storytelling is an amazing tool that can be used for social change. Don’t be led by fear but be guided to serve, protect and elevate voices. Continue to elevate your leadership, creativity, and impact.
