Thoughts from Lillie Jackson of The National Black Alcoholism and Addictions Council

Viewing this powerful documentary film gave me the urge to
 run out and tell all of my Capacity Building colleagues about the
 film "All of Us". I feel it is a necessary tool for anyone working in the field of women, substance abuse and gender empowerment.
 This film could be used in booster session of SISTA intervention. Heart
 filled thanks to Chevelle and Tara who star in the film for being so courageous and brave
 for telling their stories. 
This film shows that no matter what your educational expertise is; every woman is at risk of HIV/AIDS/STD if she is not assertive in intimate moments. We need to start a conversation about relationships. and Dr.
 Mandefro is the town crier to wake up all women.

I am an English professor, and I just showed this film to my class on "contemporary literature and gender issues." The students were really moved by it, and we had one of our best discussions of the semester after it was over. I love the way it weaves the lives of Chevelle and Tara with the life of Dr. Mandefro and her medical research to show how power relations are part of everyone’s everyday life. Thank you so much for making this film.

I was so very taken by the flow of your write-up. The events just took me to the place which you described and I could feel that happening to me. I think your narration is world-best…keep it up…
