U People... Make A Move!
I first came across this music video last year, and loved its vibe and energy, so much that I had to reach out to the creator, renaissance woman, Hanifah Walida, who lives right here in Brooklyn, NY, not too far from me actually, and who is also planning a screening of a documentary based on the making of this music video called U PEOPLE. I thought it apropos to revisit this, motivated by the long list of rather unfortunate recent events. Some of you are actually in this video!
On April 8th and 9th 2006, 30 queer, transgender and straight women of color gathered at a brownstone in Brooklyn; and for the next 2 days, a music video was made... this is that music video!
You can reach Hanifah HERE, or check out the profile for the documentary HERE.
