STRAIGHT OUT OF AFRICA
By Temitope Akinterinwa
When a young African woman lands in Toronto, she expects only to be seen as Black. What she doesn’t anticipate is feeling blacker. In this bold, voice-driven documentary, she reflects on bias, challenges assumptions tied to her background, and carries the quiet burden of assimilation — without losing herself.
