COLORLINES, published by Race Forward, today announced the release of Women Transcend, a multimedia storytelling initiative and film produced in collaboration with formerly incarcerated Black women activists. The central piece of this multimedia project is a documentary feature that follows activists Cheryl Wilkins, Ivy Mathis, and Mama Gloria Williams, showcasing their work to uplift other women as well as their advocacy for clemency and reentry programs. Through the film and accompanying content, Women Transcend challenges us to reflect on how we view, and inadvertently give our consent, to systems of perpetual punishment and isolation.
