Help preserve women's stories, wisdom, and legacy for generations to come.
Portraits of Women of a Certain Wisdom is a documentary featuring Black women ages 55 and older whose lives, experiences, and wisdom have shaped families, communities, and generations. Through intimate interviews, personal photographs, and the Black cultural tradition of oral storytelling, these women will share their journeys, reflections, and the lessons they hope to pass on to future generations.
Inspired by the loss of my mother, this film seeks to preserve their voices, honor their legacies, and ensure their stories live on.
I am Tracie W. McClinton, a 58-year-old first-time filmmaker, author, business owner, and founder of Season of Selah. With more than 15 years of experience in event planning, project coordination, and community leadership, I am bringing my organizational and creative experience to this project as its producer and director, working alongside a professional film production team.
Now, I need your help bringing these stories to the screen.
My initial fundraising goal is $7,600 to help fund professional cinematography, audio engineering, equipment, and editing for this feature-length documentary. Every contribution brings us closer to preserving these remarkable stories for future generations.
Every contribution matters, whether it's $25, $50, $100, or more.
Through six giving levels, supporters can participate in preserving these women's stories while receiving special acknowledgments and recognition for their generosity.
The completed film will premiere at a free public screening during Women's History Month in 2028, bringing families and generations together to experience these remarkable stories.
These women have spent their lives shaping generations. Now it's our turn to make sure their voices are heard.
Thank you for supporting Portraits of Women of a Certain Wisdom.
