“You’ve got to be brave, brave, brave“
Investigation
You’ve Got to be Brave, Brave, Brave was originally presented as a social media campaign celebrating the intersection of Black History and Women’s History Months in February and March 2021. The original posts have been adapted to short videos and shared here as a way to continue to engage audiences. Viewers are invited to test their knowledge of notable figures past and present via these engagements that feature images, quotations, and verbatim performances. Each artifact is intended as an educational resource to stimulate continued conversation around the importance of intersectionality as it relates to identity.
