Ava DuVernay and Autumn Riley

Ava DuVernay, born August 24, 1972, was raised within Long Beach California. DuVernay was encouraged to pursue her love of the arts by her aunt Denise as a young child. The aunt she had was a nurse who worked shifts at night so that she could devote her day to art literature or theater as well as other activities. DuVernay was exposed to the movie of 1961 West Side Story by her aunt. DuVernay realized that art could be a powerful tool to promote political activism. DuVernay was trained by her mother who had a strong social conscience and advised DuVernay to exhibit her artistic talents.
