SKYLARK

A FEATURE-LENGTH DOCUMENTARY BY MIGNOTAE KEBEDE COMING IN 2026

After a decade of fighting for racial justice within the white woman-dominated philanthropic sector of Washington, DC, Dr. Yanique Redwood confronts weathering, the silent toll of racism-related stress on her body. Leaving behind her high profile positions in the United States, she holds a mirror to the harms Black women face at work and embarks on a radical path toward healing.

  • “I wanted the film to be centered in softness and breath. Too often, Black women are stripped of our full humanity in the ways we’re depicted on screen, and this film resists that by creating space for liberation, depth, and wholeness.”

    — Mignotae Kebede
    Director and Producer, Skylark
