Today is #givenoladay 🎭 This year, I am spearheading efforts at NOVAC to raise $25,000 in support of the Community Filmmaker Cohort Program. This program plays a pivotal role in nurturing new and emerging filmmakers, fostering collaborative efforts to create impactful shorts. Your generous contributions will enable us to complete two community documentaries, which will center on Black Maternal Health. By providing filmmaker stipends, your donations will directly facilitate these initiatives. Reflecting on my three-years working at NOVAC, I am continuously reminded of the privilege I have in upholding our shared values of community and storytelling. Since joining during my junior year of college, I have found profound fulfillment in supporting an organization aligned with my personal goals. The journey has been nothing short of transformative, enriched by the opportunity to collaborate with dedicated filmmakers and connect with amazing individuals. Your support today will further empower Louisiana storytellers, enabling them to amplify their voices and perspectives. Please consider donating today (Link in Bio), and if not possible, your help in spreading the word would be greatly appreciated.
