Gina Belafonte on Arts & Activism

GINA BELAFONTE DISCUSSES ARTS & ACTIVISM: THE BELAFONTE LEGACY

Woman’s City Club is proud to present Gina Belafonte at our 32nd National Speaker Forum. Actress, producer and social activist, Gina was the lead producer on the internationally acclaimed documentary film, SING YOUR SONG, exploring the extraordinary life and legacy of Harry Belafonte, her father.  Like him, Gina uses her art as a tool for healing and inspiring transformational change.

Her work in the realm of prison abolition and juvenile justice is profound and creative. As the CEO of Sankofa.org, she brings together art, activism, and policy to challenge the mass incarceration system. Through immersive theater, documentaries, and even VR/AR re-entry programs, she centers the voices of young people, survivors, and returning citizens —building empathy, healing trauma, and envisioning a future beyond cages.

The National Speaker Forum benefits Woman’s City Club, a local civic organization that works to educate, empower, and engage the citizens to act together in promoting the common good.
