    I am an educator and content maker.

    So proud of the recent milestones achieved at RW! We just graduated our first dual language class, thanks to the support of Karl Anthony Towns. Some of our dedicated students traveled long distances to attend our workshops, showcasing their commitment. The graduation ceremony was emotional and heartwarming, with students sharing their voices and perspectives, grateful for a welcoming community interested in their stories. Additionally, our summer lab for neurodiverse filmmakers is thriving, thanks to a generous grant from the Butler Foundation. This initiative provides a safe and inclusive space for students eager to express their life experiences through filmmaking. It's a privilege to serve diverse communities and empower vital voices in our city. #CommunityBuilding #Inclusivity #Empowerment #Gratitude
