Hillary and Tina interview community advocate, Emmanuel George of the Black Broward film project, the Sistrunk-a-Fair, and the Legends of Broward card series.
Born in Overtown, Florida, Emmanuel George spent his childhood years in North Miami and Miami Shores. In 2002 to present day he's been living in Hollywood and Dania Beach. His calling to be a voice and advocate for the local Black community came after being taken under Valencia Gunder's wing as one of her mentees. Through getting involved in community activism in Miami, he applied what he was taught in Miami-Dade and brought it to the Hollywood and Dania Beach communities. His passion has always been film and art. He wanted to blend what he loves with community development. Because of his work and dedication to Black Broward, he's started the Black Broward film project, is the Producer of the Sistrunk-A-Fair, and creator of the Legends of Broward card series
Hillary and Tina speak to Emmanuel George about his advocacy, the impact of gentrification on black communities, the importance of archiving local black history, his current Legends of Broward trading cards project, and more.
