Dear Chicago, the Men of MAAFA Speak: This Summer

With continued support from Chicago CRED, ConTextos led our first successful Authors Circle with The MAAFA Redemption Project on Chicago's Westside.

Dear Chicago: Men of MAAFA Speak was filmed primarily by ConTextos Authors participating in the MAAFA program. This video memoir brings us into the lives of these Authors who have opened up sharing their stories, experiences, and insights with one another, with the city of Chicago, and the rest of the world.

ConTextos offers a platform for people to claim and share their own narratives to help overcome trauma, violence, injustice and inequity. Together, we co-create spaces where we connect, build community, reflect deeply and write meaningfully.
