Bridget Smith
Bridget Smith is the founder and curator of The Sankofa Cinema Club. Born and raised in Brooklyn, she has always worked in media for the past thirty years. Currently, she is a Metadata Manager at SiriusXM and an adjunct professor at St. John's University. In September 2023, Bridget commenced her first virtual version of The Sankofa Cinema Club showcasing untold Black historical content with a lively and interactive discussion afterwards. When possible, the filmmaker and/or related people from the film joins us for a Q&A. Due to popular demand, she decided to create an in-person version to build community and continue showcasing the hidden figures of the African Diaspora globally.
