Happy Activist Gabri Blankson: Exploring Teens’ Mental Health Through Film
This week, meet Happy Activist Gabri Blankson, who is using film to illuminate teen mental health. Her award-winning short film MIME, created through the Black Girls Film Camp, explores the emotional impact of pandemic isolation through a fantasy lens, using mimes as metaphors for internal struggles. Drawing from personal experience and inspired by Inside Out, Gabri crafted a visually expressive story that resonates deeply with young audiences. She also developed a downloadable viewers guide to help audiences interpret emotional cues and access mental health resources — proving that storytelling can be both healing and transformative.
What you'll learn:
How Gabri used metaphor and fantasy to express complex emotional experiences.
What led her to focus on the challenges of mental health and isolation during the pandemic.
How she developed her viewers’ guide — and how it enhances emotional awareness and encourages open dialogue.
