“Yoruba Richen’s films highlight issues that all Americans should know and care about. Her work as a filmmaker and an educator honors the Black experience and highlights the contributions Black people make toward helping this nation realize its potential. We are proud to present her with our 2023 Trailblazer Award in recognition of her steadfast commitment to both her craft and her people.”
— Leslie Fields-Cruz, BPM executive director
