Screening

…goodbye to the EMOTIONAL MAMMY
Written & Directed by: Esther A. Armah
Featuring: Beverley Prentice-Thomas
An Emotional Justice short film about the weight of it all and the wellness we create

About

This short film centers a Black woman’s journey where breakthrough may feel like breakdown in a world that demands, negates and discards. What does it mean to choose your wellness over the world’s weight of expectation of your racialized emotional labor? What does it mean when your wellness feels like a battlefield in a nation where your thriving is threat, not promise, healing or full humanity? “…goodbye to the EMOTIONAL MAMMY” is part of a global project WELLNESS in the face of WARFARE by The Armah Institute of Emotional Justice, a global non-profit led by the film’s writer and director, Esther Armah. This project invites Black and Brown women to center their wellness in a landscape that weaponizes fear and threat as political tools of reactionary politics and calculated chaos. WELLNESS in the face of WARFARE is an invitation to pursue Emotional Justice.
