Once Upon A Color is a musical documentary about 8 artists of color sharing their experiences and perspectives. As a director, writer, producer, music composer, and editor, I was inspired by personal connections to all 7 individuals in the film. The aim was to showcase how people of color from underrepresented communities and global backgrounds face common struggles when navigating an oppressive world. The film is an award-winning piece of art that encouraged me to carry on a culturally-connective approach in my DEI career.
