LEGACY - Still I Rise (Documentary film screening and Q&A)

"Still I Rise" – a powerful new documentary spotlighting the extraordinary journey of Jennifer Izekor: Founder and CEO of Above Difference, former Commissioner of the Independent Police Complaints Commission, and a fearless advocate for justice, equity, and change.

Fostered from birth. Moved through multiple homes. Uprooted across continents. Thrust into national headlines by a false accusation. Jennifer’s life could have broken her. Instead, it forged a leader — defined by resilience, courage, and an unshakeable commitment to healing where there has been hurt.

This documentary is more than a story — it's a peephole, a mirror and a challenge for positive change.
