In Texas, Dulé Hill connects with three artists, each a leader in transforming their communities. In Houston, Dulé learns the “mexica” handshake from Abuela M'api Rainflowa, the founder of Houston Aztec Dance & Drum. Rainflowa was raised as a devout Catholic who believed she was of Mexican descent, and it wasn’t until college she realized she was actually indigenous. Rainflowa teaches Dulé the Aztec Sun Dance, and he later joins her for a sweat lodge ceremony, exploring the spiritual roots of indigenous practices. In Dallas, Dulé meets David Lozano, Executive Director of Cara Mía Theatre. Cara Mía uses daring theatrical productions to amplify the Latino experience in the United States. Liz Magallanes, an undocumented immigrant, works with Dulé on her one-woman play about her experience as a “dreamer”. Dulé then attends a screening of Cara Mía’s play “Crystal City 1969,” which tells the story of high school students who helped spark the Chicano civil rights movement in Texas. In Denton, Dulé connects with John Bramblitt, a blind painter. John lost his vision in 2001 and then re-taught himself to paint by touch. He currently leads workshops at museums like the Guggenheim, helping others with blindness reclaim their artistic abilities. John shows Dulé his painting process by painting Dulé’s portrait, then Dulé learns what it feels like to paint without sight in a blindfolded painting workshop. Through these stories, Dule discovers the sacrifice and strength it takes to become a guiding light for one’s community.
