SUPPORT BLACK CREATIVES!
They share their hopes, their dreams and their imaginations with us. They make us laugh. They make us cry. They allow us to be vulnerable. Today, we salute these upcoming artists and open our hearts to their stories.
If it came down to you or someone you love, who would you choose? In this week’s episode of “Urban Indie Film Block,” both films force their characters into a corner and a decision must be made.
Watch these upcoming black creatives share their stories on Tuesday at 8/7c on AspireTV!
