How black moms say “I love you.” @superparentfilm We see you .. We spent countless hours putting this film together for one reason — to acknowledge you. To the mothers, grandmothers, TeeTee’s 😂 and big sisters we honor you. While on most days the world glorifies athletes & stars, we chose to shed light on you, the real superheroes. The I-love-you’s, even the quiet ones you never say out loud, I could feel them. And because I felt them, I made this film to give that love right back,to let you know that we love you too. @superparentfilm is available on YouTube now!

What started as filming music videos, turned into purpose. A camera kept me busy. A camera kept me curious. A camera made me want to get better every single day just to see how far I could really take this journey. That passion turned into a career, relationships, partnerships, experiences, and eventually a film inspired by it all. “Believe In Yourself” out now. Pinned on my page. Shot by: @phat_t.n 🐐

I treated my community like a blank canvas… and let my Sony a7s be the paint brush. I didn’t learn this in school. I learned it outside, in real time. Piece by piece… it turned into something. Believe In Yourself Film—OUT NOW #bytapree #believeinyourself #filmmaking

Believe In Yourself, Chicago. This for the ones who was told not to chase it. For the ones who stayed in the crib, putting hours into something… just to stay out the way when it was crackin outside. Drawing. Doing hair. Designing something nobody else sees yet. Believe in yourself. April 23rd. The journey begins — for you. See y’all soon. #bytapree #chicago

Real people. Real comments. A community that felt something from our art — that means everything to us. For us, creating is about making real impact, to touch lives, for today and generations to come after us. God gave us this gift, and it’s on us to use it, to shine light and bring fresh ideas into the world. Thank you to everyone involved. This was way deeper than just saying “action.” #fyp #shortfilm #superparent🦸🏾‍♀️
