For Michelle Parkerson, filmmaking and activism are inextricably entwined. Using her camera to bring untold stories of Black and queer female identity to the screen as a producer and director, Parkerson has profiled trailblazing performers and activists such as influential jazz singer Betty Carter, social-justice-oriented a cappella ensemble Sweet Honey in the Rock , and legendary drag performer Stormé DeLarverie, who played a key role in the Stonewall uprising. Her essential documentary works are presented alongside the Afrofuturist love story Odds and Ends , in which Parkerson brings her concern for feminist and LGBTQ issues into the realm of science fiction.
