Black Girls Code: Bridging The Digital Divide


Black Girls Code is an amazing movement spearheaded by the pioneer Kimberly Bryant. This is an organization based towards pushing forth the notion that yes, little girls of color can code too. They can invent, build and create. They can move a nation and they can change the world. Through workshops on coding, science and app building, Black Girls Code is creating a new set of pioneers.
Directed by emerging Arizona director, Shanice M. Johnson, CEO of Malakai Creative LLC – this short film of 15 minutes was made to inspire and to educate the world about how BLACKGIRLSCODE IS BUILDING CHANGE-MAKERS.

HOODWINKED Trailer (Official)


Hoodwinked” is a film that should be a must-see for every person of color in America. The film asks questions about long-held beliefs about black male graduation and incarceration rates and shows you why everything you've been led to believe is wrong by filmmaker Janks Morton. The Arizona Informant will host Morton and preview this film as part of the Juneteenth festivities. Date and place to be announced soon…stay tuned
