Victoria Omotoso recently completed her PhD which explored cross-cultural audience receptions of The Lumo Project <\/em>(2014) and Son of Man<\/em> (2006), two Jesus films. Her research looks into how contexts of filmmakers and audiences influence how they construct and imagine the figure of Jesus in film. She also has a BA in music as I enjoy singing and playing piano.<\/p>\n

Before<\/h1>\n

What did you expect? Entering a world that was not designed for you? What did you expect walking through the hallways that have systematically limited people that look like you? You\u2019d sit and listen. You\u2019d try not too hard to stand out more than you do. But oh little black girl you\u2019re about to tread a path that will transform your. Remember your history. Your history of where you came from, or where you are and where you going. You stand on the shoulders of strong black women, your grandmother, mother, aunts, sisters, friends. Your essence draws back to the history of your ancestors. They were formidable, tenacious, royal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep your head up little black girl. You are now a black woman. You used to sit and listen \u00a0but now you stand and speak. You stand in the room, you walk these corridors as if they were designed for you because they are. Confident in your skin. No need to hide. Stand tall you deserve to be here. Fight, speak and live your truth.<\/p>\n
