Kiri Davis
So, to begin, let’s follow-up on my previous post on “Hey… Shorty,” a film made by a group of girls at Brooklyn’s GGE (Girls for Gender Equality).
According to NPR, you can get copies of the film by sending an email to info@ggenyc.org, or by calling Girls for Gender Equity at 718-857-1393.
E-mail. Sent.
NPR’s Michele Martin also has a nice post on the film, and the comments that follow make a good read, particularly on the question of whether the kind of harrassment the girls are talking about is just a matter of boys being boys.
But most importantly, Martin also did an interview with the filmmakers. Hooray!

In other awesome news, Kiri Davis’ independent short film, “A Girl Like Me” has won the CosmoGirl “Take action hollywood film contest”! I’ll put the youtube version at the bottom of this post, but you can catch a better quality version at the CosmoGirl website. (+ you can see the two runner-ups, too.)
Hooray!
Finally, if you for some reason need some more inspiration-from-the-youth-in-action, don’t forget about GumboTeen, which I talked about at the end of an April post on The Jim Crow Museum.
Okay, my money has to go run and catch up with my mouth… Doesn’t it feel good to feel good?
Here’s the Kiri Davis film, followed by the original Bill Cosby video from the 70s, which Davis is also referencing:
and the Cosby film…
