  • I think we all have moments where we feel lost and lonely. I wrote this while I was deep in those emotions, in search of belonging in search of home what that is for me.

    I think about the matriarchal figures in my life - my mother, my aunties, my grandmas and great-grandmas All powerful women that have, for generations, transcended tradition, epitomizing resilience and strength and family. This film explores that and offers all the basic necessities that are needed to always carry home with you wherever you go.

    We shot this film in Window Rock Arizona in ONE day. It was challenging but totally worth it. I feel so much love and I feel so proud right now. I am very thrilled for you to see all the love that went into it.
