A Different Kind of Summer takes us through an emotional journey of one family navigating uncharted and troubled waters in the year 2020. Through the eyes of a child, we experience remote learning, quarantine, and juggling the emotions of loved ones as they live through the trying times of a pandemic and also a period of civil unrest. As the frustrations about racial injustice begin to boil over yet again for Blacks in America, we realize that finding a unified voice is finding unified power. Regardless of age, gender, or occupation, YOUR VOICE MATTERS! Let’s uplift and educate our youth about the real world by offering them facts about the past and present in hopes that they are inspired to apply themselves to help create a better future for us all.
