Gina Belafonte - Wide Awake! - Harry Belafonte's Daughter Educates, Motivates and Activates

Gina Belafonte has excelled at many things. An accomplished
actress, director and activist and the youngest child of Julie
and Harry Belafonte, Gina produced HBO’s internationally
acclaimed documentary, SING YOUR SONG, exploring the
extraordinary life and legacy of her father; the film was
selected to open the Sundance Film Festival in 2011. As Executive
Director of Sankofa.org, a social justice organization that
educates, motivates, and activates artists and allies in service
of grassroots, equitable change, Gina works with diverse artists,
activists and organizations worldwide to promote cultural and
civic engagement. Among these are For Freedoms and The Wide
Awakes, currently involved in the largest collaboration of
cultural leaders in U.S. history with nationwide civic actions
leading up to and after the 2020 election. This episode is the
first of a series of activations created in collaboration with
leading voices and visionaries within the Wide Awakes
movement.
