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!

“This is a journey a lot of black Americans want to embark on. Watching you is watching the possibilities of what we could have or be.”

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

What People Are Saying

Yes. This series seems very entertaining, especially as a Black American. Just from watching the trailer, I already became encouraged to learn more about my family’s heritage and history.

Stories like this can really open your eyes and allow you to feel more connected with your family but also yourself. Sometimes it can even give you a source of identity. Stories like these can also later be passed down to futures generations.
