“The Black Lives Matter Movement I think is a real inspiration for what could be a reinvigorated Gay Rights or LGBTQ Movement.” –Katherine Franke

In this #NEDAConnections, we talk with up-and-coming R&B Singer/Songwriter, Jada Michaels, about her experience as a plus size, LGBTQ, and black woman in the music industry.

In 2017 I met the perfect man for me, although he lived in USA and I lived in Mexico. But we didn't see that as an obstacle, so in 2018 we decided to start a Long Distance Relationship, and everything went amazing so in 2019 I decided to propose to him in our holiday in Brasil and many people were involved in. My dancers friends from Hello Dolly Mexico help me record a video that I sent to my dancers friends from Billy Elliot and Aparecida O Musical, with a choreography so they can learn it. We were supposed to go sightseeing in Sâo Paulo with one of my closest friends in Valentine's Day but she said that she needed to go and record some dancers choreography first, so my boyfriend and I went with her and this is what happened after...

After a year of courtship Darren proposed to Xzavier in the most spectacular fashion.

Gay and bisexual black men experience depression and anxiety at higher rates than does the general population. Due to the lack of sensitivity that some healthcare providers, family members and even religious leaders in our communities render to many of our situations, and because of the fear of voicing our feelings due to the suppression of our sexual identities, and even dual identities, being black and gay, or even lesbian and trans, many of us indulge in reckless behavior and habits. We must begin to recognize our situations, and empower ourselves to take control of them, heal and work to live our best lives.

INTRODUCTION:

Mr. David Johns of the National Black Justice Coalition is an educator, an unapologetic advocate for youths who far too often find themselves neglected or ignored, and so much more. We are honored to have him on this episode to talk about his passion for young people’s mental health and share with us the many important lessons that he learned in the process of helping them figure out their identities and navigate the environment in which they live and grow up in. Tune in to find out what he means when he says there is no such thing as a problem child, what parents can do to communicate better with their teenagers and kids, and other invaluable tools and insights in this episode.

KEY POINTS / MAIN TAKEAWAYS:

Working with mental health in youths: Why it’s important to David.
Lessons learned in his work.
The omnipresence of white supremacy in data.
How you listen to learn and not listen to respond.
Why adults need to hold themselves accountable for their failures.
Why do we keep boxing our Black youths? How can we stop and do better?
QUOTABLES:

“Too often adults seek to solve problems for youths without ever asking them what's wrong. The question is usually, ‘What's wrong with you?’ We don't ask, ‘What's wrong?’”

“Whenever people talk about young people, for me, it's important that young people are able to talk for themselves and whenever young people are centered for me, it's important that people hold space for the fullness of their diversity.”

Suitable
Directed by Thembi L Banks
thembibanks.com

"true American tradition, prom is perhaps one of the most anticipated nights in a young person’s high school experience. Considered a rite of passage, prom is a teenager’s last hurrah to their grade school days and a chance for teens to show their true colors. Perhaps I am a little bit romantic about it – I did grow up watching John Hughes films – but prom is the quintessential coming-of-age setting for any end to a great young adult story. A true fan of the drama, Thembi Banks’ Suitable was an easy film to fall in love with.

Inspired by writer Rochee Jeffrey’s childhood admiration of Grace Jones, Suitable orbits around Brandy (grippingly performed by Kelli Jordan), a high school senior who comes to terms with her sexuality when deciding what she’ll wear to the prom. While the premise of the film seems simple enough to follow, Banks’ exploration of femininity, girlhood, and Black identity is thought-provoking and feels deeply personal.

A critique about American culture that shatters patriarchal constructs, Banks wanted to tell a story that would “represent young Black women who struggle with identity issues and the ability to love themselves”. The story itself is incredibly nuanced and opens a conversation about assumptions within the cisgender and LGBTQ communities alike, while leaving us with a wonderful message about love, self-affirmation, and acceptance. If you were looking for a feel-good film, Suitable is a must-watch.

Banks’ colorful and stylish approach is in part thanks to cinematographer Dennis Zanatta, who constructed magical neon daydream sequences, inspired by the likes of Moonlight and Girlhood. But much of the magic also comes from the wardrobes and soundtrack. Hip hop and R&B is a big part of the narrative – and why wouldn’t it be? In high school, music is one of the first things that young people relate to as they experience deep emotions for the first time.

A Sundance alum with her short film Baldwin Beauty, Banks’ Suitable was one of six projects developed and partially funded by Film Independent’s Project Involve Program (which also gave us Lulu Wang’s Touch) and had a strong festival run, playing at the American Black Film Festival and more, before being released online." - S/W Curator Chelsea Lupkin
