Producer & 1st AD / Jubilee Media Fellowship 2016

 

If you could tell your younger self anything, what would you tell her?

In July 2016, I attended the Jubilee Media (fka Jubilee Project) Fellowship in Los Angeles, CA. I joined a cohort of 11 other passionate creators to change the world in one summer. We created a series of short, unscripted documentary videos, and I served as one of the producers.

My team asked a group of women to share with us their life experiences and answer one question: “If you could tell your younger self anything, what would you say to her?”

In TO THE GIRL I WAS, these women reflect on their identities, pasts, and lessons learned. They remind us of the strength that comes from overcoming hardships and rising to face life's challenges.

To this day, my Fellowship team was comprised of some of my favorite people to work with, ever. So much talent, compassion, and sincerity in the stories they tell and the effort they invest in all that they do.
