In the middle of the pandemic, Tyrese Allyene-Davis a disabled Black youth, celebrated his 21st birthday isolated in his NYU dorm room. Bound by his wheelchair and a brick wall facing window, his thoughts began sinking into spaces of despair following the murder of George Floyd. A few months later he watches the documentary film I Am Not Your Negro by Raoul Peck and is moved beyond tears by the power of James Baldwin's words. With no one to talk with, Tyrese pours his visceral feelings into an audio-only Facebook post, leaving his followers to question his state of mind, and the images behind his words. Having always been presented as the poster boy for disability excellence, it was the first time acknowledging himself as a Black disabled man took on a different life. (Woodstock Film Festival)
