Afro Promo #1 Kinglady is an Afro-Feminist manifesto beautifying bodies to claim the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Using a low-tech—do-it-yourself aesthetics, this short film demonstrates how presence, fashion, and pop culture can be a vehicle for self-invention and self-determination.
