Donisha Rita Claire Prendergast Instagram – A Beautiful Truth: I’ve never been able to fit into any standards or expectations ascribed to me. I’ve always and only wanted to be who I want to be.
I chose to trod these roads, defiantly, with aspirations to discover the roots of our humanity through these immersive experiences that challenge, redefine, redesign, sometimes offend but then again remind me to persist beyond the defects of this virtual reality.
When @rastaasoulsjourney first premiered 10 years ago, the fight against RasTafari culture and livity was raging. Our sacrament, Ganja/ Cannabis, was still illegal across the majority of the world.
Many film festivals and television platforms denied us a space because of our open discussions on screen about the healing and medicinal values of this plant that was criminalized to safeguard colonialist and capitalist virtues and reigns of oppression. So we took it to the streets, community centres, corporate offices and boardrooms. We created classrooms everywhere we could.✨
On August 13 at @danielsspectrum we will celebrate the 10 year anniversary of RasTa, A Soul’s Journey, a film that has brought light, hope, visibility, education and direction for people of all ages and races all around the world who were also on a journey with me, like me, through me.
We celebrate the roots and evolution of a culture and movement that changed the world and still…
I’m so honoured and humbled to see and remember the moments of impact and celebrate in the works that have been done and the ability to do more.
Shout out to @ocs__canada for supporting the movement to help demystify and amplify the role of Cannabis within these times.
