\u201cI am excited to announce this historic partnership with Disney across all of its platforms to elevate Black and Brown directors, creators, storytellers, and producers, and to inspire the youth with compelling and authentic perspectives,\u201d Kaepernick said in a statement. \u201cI look forward to sharing the docuseries on my life story, in addition to many other culturally impactful projects we are developing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
