A music video shoot in a brownstone in Brooklyn morphed into an accidental documentary featuring 30 gay and straight women and trans folks of color. What the camera caught behind the scenes is a strong, candid, and very human perspective into the lives of queer women of color. They discuss, they fight, they argue, they cry, they laugh, and they poignantly represent their diversity. Their discussions on race, gender and identity politics unfold like any other intellectual conversation would on your stoop or your couch, should you be in the company of forward-thinking bohemian acquaintances. And through this candor, you can’t help but be pulled into the beautifully charismatic and inviting world these women inhabit.
