A Healing-Centered Short Film Experience

by Dr. Karen Moore

What happens when a lie becomes a legacy?
Who Told You Your Black Is Not Beautiful? is a powerful short film that dares to ask the question so many dark-skinned Black women have silently carried. Told through layered poetry, storytelling, and intimate confessions, this film creates a sacred space for healing from the wounds of colorism and reclaiming the beauty that’s always been ours.
