Tina is a media activist deeply committed to facilitating members of community groups in telling their own stories. Her work is that of a video oral historian, documenting community struggles aurally and visually, who shares the perspectives of marginalized people, enabling them to be seen and heard in their own image and voice. Her own work started when she took classes at Scribe Video Center over a decade ago. Since then, she has completed a community history documentary entitled Severed Souls (2001), a 13-year personal journey to chronicle community memory of the execution of Corrine Sykes, a 20-year-old North Philadelphia resident wrongly executed for murder and the first African American woman to be legally executed in Pennsylvania and The Taking of South Central... Philadelphia (2005), a documentary focusing on problems of gentrification affecting many communities.
