From One Earth Film Fest:

One Earth is proud to partner with Kehrein Center for the Arts in Chicago's Austin community for a special International Women's Day presentation and series. This three-event series begins on Friday, March 8. Each event will highlight the work of women of color, both locally and globally, as we illuminate the ways that women work intersectionally and across a range of contexts to support one another in our collective fight for equity, liberation, and economic participation in ways that preserve land, promote economic accessibility, and cause ecological flourishing. Join us for this exciting series to take place between March 8, April 18, and April 19.

March 8: Join us as Ana Garcia-Doyle, executive director of One Earth Collective points us toward the screening of “Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai,” a film that stoically captures the inspiring work of Wangari Maathai and the Kimuka women of Kenya, and the legacy of tree planting toward viability and sustainability in Kenya.

After the film, Reesheda Graham Washington, Executive Director of Kehrein Center for the Arts Foundation, will lead a discussion with Toni Anderson, CEO of Mindful Rant. Anderson, a Southside Chicago native, promotes mindfulness and emergent leadership, fostering clarity and supporting interpersonal connections. She integrates cultural, ecological, and participatory design approaches to empower communities of color towards proactive social change. Anderson is a practitioner of wholeness, a healer, urban ecologist, and spiritualist, planting seeds of freedom through eco-social practices.
