She produced a documentary titled, “A Story Seldom Told,” in 2000, depicting the lives of a group of women housed at the Passaic County Jail. Excerpts were shown on “The 700 Club.” And, Rev. Nance was profiled in “The Record” and “The New Jersey Edition of “The New York Times” regarding the film.

“A Story Seldom Told” was shown at the African Diaspora New York Film Festival and another film festival sponsored by The New York chapter of The Links.

She, and two women from that documentary, have made presentations to audiences at Sarah Lawrence College, the Felician College, Montclair State University, and also on local cable television channels.

Rev. Nance is the former coordinator of a mentoring program for the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention out of Washington, D.C.

Her future desire is to produce a film on the life of Academy Award winner Hattie McDaniel, the first African-American to win a supporting actress Oscar for the film, “Gone With The Wind.”

She has been the recipient of numerous awards and citations and is grateful that she can serve God by serving His people.
