カルレッタ, what inspired you to make this excellent documentary? When did you recognize dress codes were such a problem?
I was inspired to make 服を着た心 after attending an advocacy workshop at the We Are the Girls conference in May of 2017. I was originally attending to gain some information on how to support my students (女の子) with advocating for themselves. The session was an overview of the report, Dress Coded: Black Girls, Bodies and Bias in D.C. 学校. I was floored by what they shared and wanted more folks to know what was happening, and figured a film about the report was the best way to go about that.
Who do you see as the target audience for this documentary?
The target audience is anyone who interacts and supports black girls. If you work in a school or a place that services black girls, we want you to see this film. It is critical for educators, 政策立案者, parents and girl serving organizations to watch 服を着た心 and understand dress codes are a small piece of a larger, more urgent puzzle.
What do you hope will be the main takeaways for this audience?
I hope that the audience realizes that this is about more than just dress codes. Oversexualization and adultification are real issues facing black girls in schools.
What do you believe needs to change within the educational sphere for a paradigm shift of dress codes being inclusive to occur?
There are three things that need to occur for a paradigm shift in education. Firstly, policies and procedures that are negatively crafted to be gender exclusive and racially biased have to be changed by revamping, retooling, and/or removing certain policies. 第2, black girls and other girls of color along with adults that look and sound like them must be engaged in the discussion and be in a position of power to make a difference. Finally, the idea that dress code policies are just about what a girl is wearing on her body has to change. It is the lack of agency, the lack of freedom to express who she is, and the hindrance of her ability to learn and grow in school.
How do you hope your film will help solve the issues?
My hope is that 服を着た心 brings more light to the issue, builds awareness and action, and ultimately used as a teaching tool that schools and universities will use to educate, empower, and ignite change around this issue.
