Before They Tell Our Stories 2025

Where higher education meets impact

Directed by Brandon Smith

Medgar Evers College, a historic Black institution in Brooklyn’s vibrant Caribbean community, has long stood as a symbol of diversity and resilience. Yet LGBTQ+ students and faculty have often struggled to find true safety and acceptance on campus. This film shares their powerful coming-out stories, celebrating the fullness of queer lives and redefining what it means to come out.
