Expose Dementia Inc.  is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that uses media and the arts to bring awareness to dementia's impact; to educate the community; to remove the stigma of dementia; to advocate for people living with the dementia; and support care partners. Based in Atlanta, the #ExposeDementia movement was born from the pain of watching loved ones battle dementia and feeling helpless and hopelessness. After learning that dementia is a public health crisis in America, especially in the African American community, award-winning filmmaker and bestselling author C. Nathaniel Brown set out on a quest to learn more about dementia and to share that knowledge with others. It started with a short film called That's My Brother, a short film called The Present, a documentary called Remember Me: Dementia in the African American Community, and a book called Exposing Dementia: 8 Critical Takeaways for African Americans. 

 

African Americans are twice as likely as their white counterparts to be diagnosed with some form of dementia. Many believe the disparity is much greater. As a result of dementia information obtained through research, interviews and projects,  Expected End Entertainment, LLC, and Expose Dementia has partnered with other organizations and business to host a series of screenings of the award-winning documentary

Remember Me, followed by a Q&A/panel session. 

 

Dubbed “The Expose Dementia Tour”, these events in 20 cities across the country will bring awareness to dementia’s impact on the African American community and provide resources for those with dementia, family caregivers and the community at large. Additionally, the documentary has been accepted into several film festivals, including the Essence Film Festival; Greenwood Film Festival, Charlotte Black Film Festival, and Fort Smith International Film Festival.

 

In addition to the documentary, filmmaker and international bestselling author C. Nathaniel Brown has published another resource for dementia families, a book called,

Exposing Dementia: 8 Critical Takeaways for African Americans.

 

The tour includes cities such as: Baltimore; Pittsburgh; Houston; Denver; Milwaukee; and Los Angeles. A full list of the cities are posted on the Tour Page. Additional information will be added to this site and distributed to subscribers as dates and locations are secured.
