Traces of Mika: A Visual Memoir

Description

Traces of Mika is an inspirational documentary derived from Tamika Newhouse’s unscripted podcast series of the same title. In her debut as a filmmaker, Newhouse explores the importance of healing from childhood traumas while researching her family history. Her journey of learning about her family’s past helps her unlearn generational curses and move towards a happier existence. Facing her past and pushing through her uncertainty, she is determined to love her people while they are here. Part documentarian, the film is a visual memoir that celebrates the dynamic complexities of Black family bonds, and mental healing among Black women, while featuring original songs.
