Chicago Havas
Chicago Havas hosted the premiere of the Just Like Me documentary, where I sat on my very first panel just after graduating in Fall 2021.
True Star Media
I led a presentation at True Star Media focused on storytelling through video editing. Speaking with Black and Latinx youth across Chicago, I shared behind-the-scenes insights on the Just Like Me documentary and broke down how editing choices shape the narrative.
Chicago Humanities Festival
I had the honor of being a panelist at the Chicago Humanities Festival, where I engaged in insightful discussions on the Just Like Me documentary. Sharing my perspective alongside other Black leaders was an enriching experience, allowing me to contribute to conversations about being Black in a creative field.
