"Newsome, 30, was born in Charlotte, North Carolina. A filmmaker, musician and activist, she is a graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of The Arts, where she received a BFA in Film & Television. Her undergraduate work as a student, earned her a spot to serve as the first-ever Artist in Residence at Saatchi & Saatchi, a global creative communications and advertising company headquartered in New York. Newsome created an animated short, THE THREE PRINCES OF IDEA which earned her a $40,000 scholarship. While many may be new to Newsome, she is not new to the world of activism. Newsome was previously arrested during a sit-in at the North Carolina State Capitol where she spoke out against the state’s recent attack on voting rights. At NYU, she wrote and directed a humorous public service announcement called YOUR BALLOT, YOUR VOICE encouraging youth voter turnout. The PSA went on to win the Grand Prize in a PSA competition sponsored by Tisch and MTV."
