Talamieka Brice is a filmmaker, artist, designer, and community historian whose work sits at the intersection of creativity, justice, and love for Mississippi’s people. As the founder of Mississippi2, she leads programs and storytelling initiatives that center racial healing, historical memory, and community care. Through her films and public art, Brice amplifies the voices of Black women, rural communities, and everyday Mississippians often left out of the narrative.
She is the award-winning director of Five: A Mother’s Journey, Bootjack & Red, and Our Rebellious Hearts, with her work showcased at the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum and national platforms. Brice has led transformative community events including Mary Menstruated, From Duck Hill to Douglass, the Kellogg National Day of Racial Healing, and the 88th anniversary commemoration of the lynching of Bootjack & Red.
Brice is a storyteller at heart. She blends documentary filmmaking, photography, writing, and graphic design to create multilayered narratives that honor both personal and collective memory. She is a 2025 Mississippi Arts Commission grant recipient, currently developing a new body of 35mm and Holga film photography exploring Black Southern life, intimacy, and imagination.
Brice lives in Mississippi with her two children, drawing inspiration from community, ancestry, and the radical practice of telling the truth.
