B O S S
☀ IN-THEATRE … Thursday, October 21, 7:00
with post-film Q&A led by director Ashley Glass and cast members.
Proof of vaccination required for admission
Cincinnati World Cinema is delighted to host BOSS, the documentary by healthcare consultant Ashley Glass of Black Women Cultivating Change, made with support from All-In Cincinnati and Black Art Speaks. In the film Ashley shares stories from black women holding leadership positions in the local community – a group she describes as Bravely Overcoming Self-Sabotage, hence the film title “BOSS.”
Her subjects represent a cross section of professions – educators … healthcare practitioners, counselors and administrators … small business owners … activists … corporate executives … entrepreneurs – all conquering obstacles to happiness and fulfillment.
Made in Cincinnati, Ashley’s debut documentary explores “imposter syndrome” – a set of self-defeating behaviors including feelings of doubt and inadequacy, that can produce negative outcomes impacting self-esteem, relationships, and careers. The syndrome, she says, is universal, transcending race, gender and socioeconomic status. Through the heartfelt stories presented in the film we will learn how regular people became exceptional, making significant contributions to the community.
To empower others, Ashley believes the inspiring stories of these women should be shared. In the post-film discussion, Ashley and cast members will discuss the filmmaking and life experiences that brought these stories to the screen.
This is a work-in-progress — the audience is invited to offer observations and suggestions – identifying what works and what doesn’t in this rough-cut version – and how to better craft a compelling message that will improve the quality of life and mental health for all women.
