Ava DuVernay and Autumn Riley

Ava DuVernay is a Californian born in Long beach on 24 August 1972. When she was a young girl, DuVernay's aunt Denise inspired her love of artistic expression and creative thinking. Aunt Denise, who worked night shifts as a nurse, let her explore art and literature as well as the theatre in daylight. She showed DuVernay to the film of 1961 West Side Story and DuVernay fell in love with it. DuVernay discovered by watching her mother's examples of how art could serve as an activist vehicle. Her mother was also a social consciousness and taught DuVernay how to communicate through artwork.
