More about the George Floyd Memorial Center: https://georgefloydmc.org/about-us/  More Press about George Floyd's  Memorial Center:  "The untimely death of George has caused a global uprising, calling for equality and justice for all.  The rally cries of “Say His/Her Name”, “Black Lives Matter”, and “No Justice, No Peace” can be heard in every corner of the earth.  Dr. Martin Luther King’s quote “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” stands true as much today as it did in the past."   https://abc11.com/george-floyd-memorial-center-thomas-mclaurin-mary-ann-baldwin/10070449/ https://abc11.com/george-floyd-memorial-center-raleigh/8253366/    The E-Spot with Camille, is a live talk show about Entertainment,  from the people who create it.  In each episode of The E-Spot, Camille welcomes guests to share their expertise and their journey.

Beverly Tan, Producer. Director. Screenwriter. Poet. Serial Entrepreneur. Creator. Crazy Dog Lady. I tell stories about the spaces between people.  "When I was 7 years old I said "When I grow up, I'm going to tell stories" and here I am!  I recently graduated with my film degree and work at Uptone Pictures in Wake Forest. Between junior and senior year of college, I pulled together some friends and made a short film called "The Last Line" on a $500 budget with the love and support of the community. It just premiered at FilmSpark 2015, official selection. It's hopefully going to continue this festival season at other film festivals. This is all because one day I woke up and said "I think I'll make a movie this summer" and I did."
