My motive in making” Feisty Fighter – the Marnesba Tackett Story” was to show how a woman did not let anything stop her when there were so many roadblocks in her way throughout her life. The message in the film is to fight for what you believe in, just as Marnesba fought for equality, both as a person of color and as a woman. She let nothing stand in her way as she boldly stuck up for what was right when she experienced injustices in the insurance arena, housing, and real estate, and in the field of education. Her life made a difference as she held her head high and refused to take “no” for an answer.
