Speak Truth to Power

Hear Me

As the television anchor, Bianca Parks is the face of the student-run Eyewitness News in downtown Portland, Oregon. And she's become a target for those who don't want a Black woman — and a Latina — in charge of their nightly news.

First there was the hate mail. Then, they doxed her — published her personal information online. And then there were death threats. Stalking. 

Bianca Parks fought back — she used the EWN newscast to tell her story — to tell the story of women, especially women of color, were in the public eye.
The man who had her back was the television studio manager Ben Waters, a Native American majoring in film. He walked her home, backed her reporting, and in the end, rescued her.
He was her hero. But he walked away.

Missing You
Ben Waters had made a commitment to his grandfather, the chairman of the Yakama Nation council. When the tribe needed him, his grandfather called him home to run the tribal radio station. And Ben went.
But what do you do when the commitments you make to your family and tribe mean you can't have the woman love and future you want?
