Mother of Color

Mother of Color is about Noelia (played by the compelling Ana del Rocío) as the a young mom who can't seem to find adequate childcare. Just as she finds out she's invited to interview with a city commissioner (played by former Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty) at the last minute, the ancestors start communicating in the form of visions and dreams. As Noelia tries to figure out childcare in order to make it to the interview, she also tries to understand what they are trying to say.

Mother of Color is an original storyline, well told by first time writer/director Dawn Jones Redstone that marries our modern take on the impacts of ancestral trauma with the very real struggles of single mothers in a society that constantly holds them back. The film is thrilling, heart warming and spiritual. Worth the watch.
