It changed my life actually. It sounds superfluous. Six months ago when I was thinking about doing a documentary about homeless, I didn\u2019t have an outlet to do so and this gave me everything. They funded the project. They took care of distribution and they opened the doors for other opportunities. It\u2019s something that I was praying for and I didn\u2019t know how it was going to happen; but then I was contacted to apply. Queen Latifah talks a lot about spirituality and I very much believe in that. I was at the right place at the right time.

I lived in motels and in and out of cars sometimes. Up until undergrad I did and I kept it a secret and it\u2019s something I don\u2019t talk about, even when I was in film school; but in the last two years I felt very free to talk about it. I was shooting a film based on one of my summer experiences at a motel and I met a girl who was living at a motel and it reminded me so much of myself and vowed to go back and make a documentary about her. When I got the opportunity to pitch this project, I did it with this girl in mind. When the project along, the girl and her name is Annie had moved on. She found a house and is now in Penn State, which I\u2019m very happy about, but they told me to find a new family and I did. I found the Blackmon family and pitched it to the Queen Collective and they gave me the green light.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignright size-full wp-image-132196\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 160 240'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Tyde-Courtney-Edwards.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"240\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tyde-Courtney Edwards:<\/strong> Well, surviving my own sexual assault and just wanting to be better that I was.<\/p>\n<p><strong>B.
