Black Kold Medina

Up and coming rap artist and New Orleans native Kimberly Rivers Roberts – a.k.a. Black Kold Medina – lost everything in Hurricane Katrina, but summoned the courage throughout her ordeal to document the experience. The result, a documentary film called Trouble the Water, won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, and is currently taking Roberts on a journey of inspiration soundtracked by her energetic music.
