Enongo (Blu-ray) Documentary

What does it mean to be a Black woman rapper, a Cornell PhD candidate, and a proud nerd all at once? Director Kevin Schreck follows Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo (aka Sammus) as she tours North America, records a new album, and navigates a full-time career alongside academic life. Through her wholly unique afrofuturism-inspired music, Enongo/Sammus tackles mental health, identity, race and feminism.
