About this submission
Air Junie is a story about a boy like I once was, who learn to measure self-worth through price tags and logos. For young boys, especially Black boys, these branded symbols often become tied to masculinity and self-esteem long before we fully understand why. Through this film, I want to provide a different perspective on our self-worth as a whole through three main points: One, we are not made by the brands we wear, two, only we can define our destiny, and three, the shoe doesn’t make the player, the player makes the shoe.
