Weeksville Watch Night: You Think You Grown by Chanel Dupree

Sat, Oct 19, 2024 @ 6:00 pm 9:00 pm

We end our Harvest Festival with an intimate screening of Chanel Dupree’s award-winning documentary, You Think You Grown? Dismantling Adultification. This film sheds light on the origins of adultification bias and its direct connection to the amplified violence and dehumanization Black girls and women face today.

Hear from educators, scholars, therapists, and activists as they share their experiences and perspectives on dismantling this racial prejudice for the future. It’s an important conversation that reveals the erasure of Black girlhood and challenges us to think about how we can create a better, more just world.

Doors open at 6 PM, with the screening beginning at 6:30 PM, followed by a talkback and audience discussion. Don’t miss this thought-provoking and timely event.
