This time last year, Alex, repping Breaktide, was selected as one of six media entrepreneurs for the inaugural Maynard 200 cohort--a joint initiative between Maynard Institute, Google, and USC to train 200 journalists and diversify the media landscape. Congratulations to the second cohort beginning their journey now! . @google @uscannenberg #Maynard200
We found our light ✨ and refreshed our imagination. . As the brilliant @adriennemareebrown writes- Imagination is one of the spoils of colonization, which in many ways is claiming who gets to imagine the future for a given geography. Losing our imagination is a symptom of trauma. Reclaiming the right to dream the future, strengthening the muscle to imagine together, is a revolutionary decolonizing activity

Earlier this month, co-founder @reaapuri premiered the @theescapistswebseries Pilot episode that she co-directed alongside creator @rujutherebelsheep at the #ArtistTelevisionAccess to a full house. The series follows three brown girls who chase their dreams, and disappoint their families in the process. It’s a story about becoming & belonging in the age of borders and visas. It’s a story about daring to dream and giving yourself permission to get out of your own way. This year-long project has been a labor of love, and with your support they’ll be able to produce a fully funded first season. Watch the episode on their YouTube page and show them some love!

Today is the last day of #caamfest37 and we wanted to express our gratitude to the largest Asian American Film Festival in the US. It was a perfect place to premier @jalena.kl short film PERIOD GIRL that follows @nadyaokamoto a badass period activist. It was so powerful getting to see a Breaktide Production on the big screen and we’re looking forward to a summer and fall full of more Breaktide screenings 🎬
Happy Mother’s Day to all of the powerful mothers raising powerful children. We are all so grateful to our moms for raising us to be who we are today. And a special thank you to the mothers who let us into their lives for hours, days, weeks and sometimes years to document their stories. Pictured here: mothers and daughters from @standingabovetheclouds a short documentary about the mother, daughter, grandmother relationships fueling the Ku Kia’i Mauna movement on the Big Island of Hawaii and around the world.
#Throwback to our live #KPFA interview with Women’s Magazine. If @breaktide were to do a radio show or podcast, what would you want to hear about?
