Voyage in L.A.
“ Bashfully but consistently, throughout my twenties I wrote, filmed, and edited whatever was coming my way, from corporate films to music videos, as well as few short films. It wasn’t always easy to navigate between my research/teaching activities and these film projects. Whatever got in the way and knocked me down, I always bounced back stronger and kinder. Because turning bitter would offer a wrong victory to those who are sad enough to belittle and attack you. As my yoga teacher said, grace and elegance are keys in life. ”
