It’s Bigger than Basketball 🏀

Our guys Cam Gillus, Ose Okojie, and Calvin Robins recently partnered with the ACLU to lead an inspiring panel for local high school students. Alongside Yasmin Cader, Deputy Legal Director at the ACLU, the team shared powerful insights on leadership, civic engagement, and using their platform to drive real change.

Inspiring the next generation both on and off the hardwood as only the DreamFactory Factory can do.

I recently had the opportunity to speak with teens at @bgcgw after they watched my film, The Lick, as part of a media literacy lesson.

We talked about how the film came together, writing and directing, the challenges behind production, and what it means to tell honest stories about the communities we come from. Getting to hear their questions, perspectives, and creative ideas was genuinely inspiring.

Thank you so much to @_luvynaa for thinking of me, sharing the film with her students, and creating this opportunity. Knowing that something I made is continuing to spark conversations with young people in DC truly means the world to me.
