WHO ARE WE?
WHO ARE WE?
Glad you asked. We are a two-person team of forward-thinking, spirited women of color who are ready to change the climate narrative and uplift communities globally. We've shaped and sharpened our craft of penning stories and shooting multi-media content over the years.
Through lived experience and building sincere connections, we operate in solidarity with communities worldwide on the frontlines of climate action and justice.
As we create this short film, we are honored to gather a circle of supporters around this story and grateful for the hands, hearts, and voices that are helping to bring it to life.
With gratitude,
Lorena & Valentina
