I choose to create the film Fly as an amalgamation of code-switching, belonging, and what it means to be “Black”. The main character Eric is at this intersection. He is a mediocre hip-hop dancer blatantly unaware of the ways he is changing himself in order to feel belonging. <img width="2510" height="3357" width_o="2510" height_o="3357" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8bbf9b9a17a431f70da42330aa46ad32fae367a253f5ac1d622e0fa978e14082/FLY-Poster.JPEG" data-mid="191168962" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8bbf9b9a17a431f70da42330aa46ad32fae367a253f5ac1d622e0fa978e14082/FLY-Poster.JPEG" /> https://adammbowe.com/Example1 Tue, 24 Oct 2023 16:49:48 +0000 Adam Mbowe https://adammbowe.com/Example1 Example 1 <img width="736" height="497" width_o="736" height_o="497" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/180b8d1645928245ee0cd0b6079c0218a75eb0797e898c7298a14cecae01524e/IMG_9961-2.JPG" data-mid="194708086" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/736/i/180b8d1645928245ee0cd0b6079c0218a75eb0797e898c7298a14cecae01524e/IMG_9961-2.JPG" /> Lorem Ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
