When Howard and Rabeshia Clay wanted to write a story about how to make a movie, they were surprised there were no such books specifically for children of color, so they created their own series. In this interview, co-author Rabeshia Clay spoke with “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes about her children’s book “Let’s Film a Movie” as part of the “Extraordinary Journey of James and Rabeshia” series.

“It’s important to know that boys, girls, no matter who you are,  you can be whoever you want to be,” Clay says.
