The Shadows Whispered Secrets​ is a photo series and dance film that documents Black family dynamics, lineage, and legacy. Like most Black Americans, Kerri and Kendall’s family roots were severed during slavery. However, in spite of America’s maltreatment, both families were able to take new roots and continue their legacy. ​The Shadows​ dives into Black family dynamics and the weight they carry from an oppressive system. It is a journey identifying generational trauma and the steps taken to heal lineage.
