FILM

The Award-winning documentary A LOT LIKE YOU is the culmination of a lifetime of my personal and professional experience exploring issues of culture, identity, race, class, and gender.

Drawing upon my 10-year film journey, I am currently on the campus/conference lecture circuit.  I’ve been fortunate enough to travel around the world, delivering keynotes and conducting workshops exploring the issues in my film, including gender-based violence, global mixed race/multicultural issues, cultural identity and the power of personal storytelling.  These talks culminated in my 2016 TEDxSeattle talk, “Why the World Needs Your Story.”

A Lot Like You continues to be used by communities as a springboard for exploring how our stories can connect us to who we are, where we come from, and where we belong.
