Summary
Along with my partner, Anne Galisky, I am the co-founder of Graham Street Productions, a documentary film production company. We produced the documentary films, "Papers: Stories of Undocumented Youth" which screened in all 50 states, the U.S. Capitol and was broadcast on public television stations nationwide and "14: From Dred Scott, Wong Kim Ark & Vanessa Lopez." We produced the book, "Papers: Stories by Undocumented Youth" and the traveling exhibit, "Architecture of Internment: The Build Up to Wartime Incarceration." More at http://grahamstreetproductions.com I was a co-founder of the Momentum Alliance, a youth-led non-profit, with experienced coaches, who mission is to inspire youth to realize their power individually and collectively and to mentor future social justice leaders. Momentum Alliance emerged from the work of the "Papers" Youth Crew to support the development of a new cadre of diverse and underrepresented young leaders. Previously, I served as the President of R. Shine Inc., providing consulting services to non-profits, schools and public agencies. My work focused on the areas of economic development, social services and youth leadership. Specialties: Youth development, documentary film production, project management, fundraising, public policy advocacy, entrepreneurship, program development, mentoring.
