Women in Film Challenge 2025: [87/52] All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt, dir. Raven Jackson (USA, 2023)

My mom used to put a little bit of dirt in my hand. “This you,” she said, “Dirt and water.” Her mama had said the same to her. When it rain, it’s like it’s singing to you. You can smell it in the air, taste the rain in the dirt.

I would love to connect with other Black historians, librarians, and archivists (formally educated or self-taught) who focus on fashion and costume history, art history, textiles, crafts, and cultural anthropology.
