What's the movie about?

To Raise A Village film will center on the authentic lived experience and  revolutionary rise of protagonist, BriTanya Brown, a young black mother in rural Texas, who despite all odds, embodies the theory of change that states, in order to raise a village, you must first raise the visionary. On this journey of personal and professional development, the film aims to uplift a shift in public narrative around care work in the United States of America that dually amplifies the grassroots leadership of BIPOC & Latina women. Unveiling the true cost of care work and making the workforce behind the workforce visible. Follow a soul-scorched moment-in-the-life of a childcare provider leading a nationwide revolution on the heels of heartache with high hopes to build towards the village it takes to truly raise a child.

​

The creative vision for this project will depict how a sacred pause in the life of an introverted business woman, trying to live a humble life in a tiny town in Texas with her boy-girl twins was divinely orchestrated by the universe to be a catalyst for change & innovation for the American early childhood care & education system. Decades of injustice towards women, especially women of color, unconsciously conceived a painful pregnancy full of systemic struggle that will be echoed throughout the film by directly impacted childcare workers, parents and supporters.
