I Am Black History by Rhonda Hansome


I am Black History and Women's History, thanks to Director Debra Robinson's film 
I Be Done Been Was Is 

Last night, I was at the Brooklyn Academy of Music for the Black History Month Film Festival, 
One Way Or Another: Black Women's Cinema, 1970-1991

Complete Disclosure: I'm also the poster gal of the festival!

Last night at the (newly scheduled due to high interest & snowstorm) third and final screening of Debra Robinson's comedy documentary, in which I'm featured with the iconic
                                                                  Marcia Warfield 
I felt like part of history!
Did I mention I'm also NARRATOR of  I Be Done Been Was Is? 
(Blushes & tucks toe in dirt)
I'm grateful to Nellie Killian and Michelle Materre for inviting me to be part of the Q & A following the screening. I appreciate everyone, friends, co-workers and new fans, who attended. 

              Thanks Gordon Balkcom for this photo of me with my long time pal Eric Vetter at BAM.

My understanding is that the ONLY 2 EXISTING COPIES of the film are in the Lincoln Center Performing Arts Library. I hope intentions for the preservation of this, Women's History, Black History and Entertainment History, doumentary come to fruition.

Because I'm trying to get through the day without mentioning Detritus Prumt*, here's more about me.
