I Am Somebody

Synopsis

When aspiring public defender Taylor Toynes notices his zip code in an article on the cradle-to-prison pipeline, he pivots to a career working with children, whose imaginations allow for a world in which zip codes don't determine life outcomes. I Am Somebody is part of a series of short documentaries about the roles of race, class, and upbringing in nonprofit leaders' personal and professional lives.
