FROM LAINA DAWES:
HERE IT IS! please check out footage from the roundtable discussion I hosted last January at the ACE hotel. Enjoy!
 Last night at the ACE Hotel was a blast. I invited ten ladies to participate in a film project that is tentatively entitled "Challenging the White Gaze: Black women in the alternative arts" or something like that. We ate, drank and laughed a lot and there was a lot of 'food for thought' that we all left with. A massive thank you to filmmaker Faith Pennick who graciously agreed to film the entire session - which went longer than expected. There will be a part 2 and I hope to invite more people to participate!
