Surviving R. Kelly: What Justice Looks Like to the Survivors and to Many in the Black Community
dream hampton, filmmaker, writer and one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World (2019)

This plenary features ‘Surviving R Kelly’ producer Dream Hampton to discuss storytelling, (re)framing narrative, and giving voice to the feelings and experiences of black women and girls and what is needed next to end sexual assault and violence. Key learning objectives for this session are to:

  • Distinguish the complexities for black survivors to be able to report sexual violence by black perpetrators.
  • Discuss how black survivors of sexual violence by a black perpetrator view justice differently: our criminal-justice system is a broken one that denies black people justice.
  • Evaluate how a restorative justice process is an answer to the prison industrial complex that hurts the black community.
