BEYOND THE SHIP
COMING SOON!
We must take immediate action in preserving our family’s history, as society tries to erase what has always belonged to us… the truth! Your support and donations will allow us to tell this story, and empower others to tell theirs! Thank you for your support and believing in “Beyond the Ship.” This would not be possible without you!

Beyond the Ship
Watch as we celebrate what freedom means to us, and our journey towards continued freedom as the African Diaspora!
“Juneteenth Celebration”
“Wow. The stinging of possible tears were on the boarder of my eyes. Feel like this is something we’ve (we as in Gen Z/Millennials) been discussing since the end of the pandemic. The personal yet involving essences is captivating. It’s crazy how we have not lived the same life, our stories are similar.”
~Titilayo, 24
“The faces, although strangers, the narration, and the images in the video all felt familiar to me! It's my story too!”
~Alexandra, 58
