Screening: "I Am Sombody's Child: The Regina Louise Story" + Panel Discussion
SEE EVENT DETAILSThe Department of Interdisciplinary Arts and Writing (MFA), the School of Undergraduate Studies, and The Arts@CIIS present a screening of I Am Somebody's Child: The Regina Louise Story followed by a panel discussion with Regina Louise (BIS '12).
I Am Somebody’s Child tells the journey of a young African-American girl who navigates over 30 foster homes and psychiatric facilities before age 18, and the one woman, Jeanne, who believes in her. After Jeanne’s unsuccessful attempt to adopt Regina due to a racially-motivated ruling, the two are forced apart. I Am Somebody’s Child is Regina’s story of how one woman's belief and love becomes her lifeline as she defeats the odds of a corrupt system and succeeds. After 25 years, Jeanne is finally able to adopt Regina in the same courthouse that denied them previously.
