Ava DuVernay a woman who
is guiding and directing lives through her films. DuVernay films teaches me
motivation, advocacy and history. I say motivation because in her film Middle of Nowhere about a strong women
by the name of Ruby. Ruby faces many obstacles in her marriage and in her life
but one thing Ruby never did was give up she pushed and moved forward to continue
with her life. DuVernay quotes "When you're in your lane, there's no
traffic." Ruby character portrays this very well.
In DuVernay’s movie Selma she taught me history she took my
view points from out of the school books for once. While watching Selma I began to learn history and what
advocacy was during that time period. She created
political perspective of the black middle class in Selma. DuVernay films are
so close to reality that while I am watching I am always on my toes and
thinking about my culture and life at all times. These films taught me that you
should stand up for what is right there are no limitation for what you believe
in. Do not let nothing hold you
back
