Yasmine Tiana Goring is pursuing a PhD in anthropology and connects with Black people experiencing displacement and gentrification across the diaspora, from Africa to Brooklyn. Her documentary 222 Macon St. examines gentrification impacts in Bedford-Stuyvesant by presenting long-time residents alongside new white developers renting apartments. Goring grew up in a family-owned brownstone at that address and the family sold the property after the 2008 housing market crash and rising costs, which fractured an extended-family household that formed her childhood. She later moved through Bushwick, East New York, and Flatbush and witnessed rising unaffordability, from grocery prices to brownstone market rents.
