Chloe and Halle Bailey, who are also Neutrogena brand ambassadors, helped curate the program and mentored the filmmakers as they developed their shorts.The R&B duo underlined the importance of amplifying work from young, Black creatives — and shared their joys of working with “En Avant” writer/director Sarah Jean Williams and “If My Voice Rang Louder Than My Skin” writer/director Kyra Peters. “Chloe and I were just grateful to be a part of this conversation,” Halle tells Variety. “It’s really important for young Black women to feel like they have a platform to express their creative ideas, their voices and their opinions about their experience living in their skin.
