Ava DuVernay and Autumn Riley

Ava DuVernay, born August 24, 1972, raised in Long Beach California. DuVernay was motivated to pursue her love of art by her aunt Denise when she was a child. Aunt Denise was a nurse who was a night shift worker so that she could commit the day to literature, art as well as theater, among other things. She introduced DuVernay the 1961 film West Side Story and DuVernay was captivated by it. DuVernay learned by example that art could be an avenue for action.
