Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
Producer/Director of film, Yemanjá/Iemanjá
In 1997, I fell in love with Bahia and have returned for research and work ever since. My background is in production, journalism and environmentalism (M.S., Environmental Sciences with thesis research among Brazilian women). During production of Yemanjá, I lived in Brazil for 2 years. This film is longtime dream manifesting after 5 years in production and many more in development. Reared in Atlanta, I've lived in Montréal, Fort Myers, São Paulo & now Pittsburgh. Many blessings on this journey!
