Using Digital Storytelling to Change the Narrative

Fusing video production with Indigenous cultural identity is how I create a space for digital storytelling. The video content I produce  is geared toward the Indigenous community to create a positive self identity, address issues, and preserve culture. My existing projects vary from 3-8 minute short videos to 30 minute television broadcast segments to highlight Indigenous music artists.
