Layla Jefferies is an African American reporter. She often feels as though she blends in well with her white counterparts until something happens in the world that forces her and everyone around her to see that she stands alone because of her race. When her producer calls her to go on scene at the riots and protests that are happening in Ferguson, MO after the police shooting death of Michael Brown she must accept that she is being sent because she is black. There are aspects of her that understands the logic behind sending her there, but there are also parts of her that recognize that race is a problem; for the country, not just the people that a black face represents. She tells a beautiful story of her struggle for what is right and what will keep her job happy by reporting. With a microphone in hand and the camera rolling Layla learns more about herself on this assignment than she ever thought possible. Reporting live from Ferguson, MO.
