That excitement has reached Virginia, with #BlackPantherChallenges in Culpeper and Richmond and charitable screenings planned throughout the region. The nonprofit S.E.L.F., an acronym for Smile, Elevate, Live and Forgive, has teamed up with Paragon Village 12 in Fredericksburg to offer a free screening of the movie on Feb. 22 for local youth in honor of Black History Month. The nonprofit, whose aim is to provide a safe and secure environment for children, was founded by business partners LaToya White and Broadway Harris.
White, a fashion designer and single mother, says representation is important for African-American youth. “I see the impact that it has on my boys when they see movie previews. They want to engage,” she says. “They think, ‘If he can be a superhero, why can’t I?’” The pair also has organized a pre-film discussion with guest speakers on the importance of finding your purpose.
