Remembering Momma is about Brenda "Ladybug" Brooks, a middle aged African American woman whose vivacious and expressive life as a wife, mother, visual artist and art teacher slowly fades away, due to early on-set Alzheimer's Disease.

Azalea "Zay" Brooks (daughter), Jesse "Beau" Brooks (Husband) and Cameron "Cam" Brooks (Son) recant seminal moments of Ladybug's mental decline to Torina Toussaint, a nurse who has been called in to care for her.

A pivotal moment occurs on a late summer afternoon when Beau returns home from work. Busy painting in her at-home art studio, Ladybug doesn't recognize him and thinks he's an intruder. Panicked, she runs out into the streets. Gwen and Sadira - two women from the neighborhood on their afternoon walk, come to her aid. Uncertain of the full context of the moment, they call the police.

When officers arrive, it briefly becomes an incident of police brutality as Beau works to settle the situation. Two of the family's close neighbors (NeNe and Bunny) aggressively intervene and protest the officers' treatment of Beau.

After a brief period of escalating tension, things work out but when the dust settles, her family realizes this is the beginning of the end and that the woman they all know and love is becoming something else.

Director's Statement: "for so long others have controlled our narrative, which has led to global perceptions in many ways that have been inaccurate, inauthentic and incomplete. Now that the barriers to telling stories via film & television have become much easier to surmount, we are seeing a rich renaissance of stories being told, representing more of the full scope and scale of who we really are. Even though we are making great strides, we still have many generations of stories that we know can inspire, encourage and shift perceptions and perspectives about Black people. So the work continues."
