Shennell McCloud
"As a Black woman, I've experienced firsthand the power of having my voice heard, but I've also seen how easily the voices of women like me can be silenced or marginalized. That's what makes 'Dear America' so personal for me. This film is my way of amplifying the voices that have too often been pushed to the side, of making sure that our stories are told in our own words. I believe that when we lift up the voices of Black women, we lift up the entire community, and that's what drives me every day."

"At this pivotal moment in our nation's history, 'Dear America' offers a platform for the voices that have often been marginalized but are integral to shaping our collective future. This film is not just a passion project; it's a call to action, a reminder of the power that resides in every vote. I feel a profound sense of responsibility and urgency to bring these stories to light, as they have the potential to inspire change and strengthen our democracy."

"'Dear America' is about amplifying the voices of Black and Brown women, demographics that have been a driving force in social justice movements yet is often underrepresented in mainstream political discourse. By centering their experiences and perspectives, we are not only doing justice to their stories but also empowering others to find their own voices.
This film is a testament to the power of representation and a reminder that every person deserves to be seen and heard."
Director,
Dana Offenbach
"As a director, I am drawn to projects that push boundaries and challenge the status quo. 'Dear America' is a perfect intersection of art and activism, a chance to use my craft to highlight the issues that matter most. This film is my way of contributing to the conversation about the kind of nation we want to be – one that values equality, justice, and the power of every individual's voice. I feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of this project and to play a role in bringing these critical stories to the forefront."
Associate Producer,
Dr. Brittany Kirkland
"Black women have always been the backbone of our communities, but our voices have often been marginalized. 'Dear America' is about changing that narrative and creating a platform for our authentic experiences and perspectives. I am proud to be part of this project because it is about empowerment – empowering Black women to use our voices, our votes, and our collective power to demand a better future for ourselves and for generations to come."
