MOTHER’S DAY VIEWING: “African Booty Scratcher” - A short film by Nikyatu Jusu
A coming of age story, told through the lens of a young girl’s upcoming high school prom, that deals with the friction and conflicts that arise between one’s traditional roots and newfound cultural identity - a familiar battle amongst those living in the diaspora.
In Jusu’s short film, we meet Isatu, a young girl forced to reassess her alliances between her mother’s traditional West African values and the American idealism that surrounds her.
Shameless self promotion although I did create this film as an ode to both my culture and my mother. Enjoy! x
