Hello World,

The Atlanta Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated will host The Delta Sigma Theta International Film Festival, “Housed In Strength & Dignity” on Saturday, April 30, 2016 at the Shirley A. Massey Executive Conference Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Actress and singer Soror Sheryl Lee Ralph, a member of the sorority, is the 2016 Ambassador and judge for the festival.

Ralph, who currently has a reoccurring role CBS’ hit drama “Criminal Minds,” has found new success with her production company, Island Girl Productions, writing, directing and producing her award-winning film short “Secrets“, which will be showcased at Delta Sigma Theta International Film Festival.

“The Delta Sigma Theta International Film Festival was created to support Delta’s global initiatives and to promote cross-cultural awareness within the Atlanta community. Another very special component of the event is to give filmmakers interested in cross-cultural stories a forum to exhibit their best work. The evening promises to be enlightening, engaging, and enjoyable,” stated Andrea L. Morgan, chair of the chapter’s International Awareness and Involvement Committee.
