I am an Indigenous multimedia documentarian born and raised on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. To date, I have spoken at USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, UCLA, California State Polytechnic University, Pitzer College, Cal Arts, UC-San Diego, UC-Riverside, UC-Irvine, Occidental College, Northwestern University and University of Oregon. My work presents personal stories of contemporary urban Indians in photography and film to commemorate the legacy of the Indian Relocation program, a U.S. federal program enacted to assimilate American Indians in the 1950s. My overall mission is to combat the idea of the static, stereotypical Indian portrayed so pervasively in all media. I want people to know that Indians are many nations with many stories. My photography portraits stand against prevalent stereotypes of American Indians in popular culture. Having grown up on a tribal reservation in Arizona my experience of Indian life was not reflected in popular culture. My work is to produce authentic portraits and stories of the persistence of Indian life in contemporary contexts. As a storyteller, I develops photographic narratives that illustrate the real stories of American Indians within their communities. My multimedia work reflects the perseverance of American Indian cultural identities today. I wish to produce living portraits of American Indians reflected through an indigenous aesthetic lens. I work as a talent consultant for various television networks. I have professionally produced five award winning films for the Southern California Indian Center’s InterTribal Entertainment multimedia program, co-created film workshops for Native youth, produced PSA’s for Fox Studio’s American Indian Summer Institute program, and co-hosted “Bringing the Circle Together,” a monthly showcase of Indigenous documentaries at the Japanese American National Museum National Center for Preservation of Democracy Tateuchi Forum in Los Angeles. Received a BA in American Indian Studies and Film Television from UCLA.

I am 18 years old, from New York City, currently studying at Bennington College in Vermont. My experience with camera work (still and moving image) both comes from and is influenced by traveling and observing cultures. A trip in 2007 to the Brazilian Amazon with my family inspired Booker Travels: an original web video series about global travel that explores art, history, music, food, and natural landscape. Surfing and skateboarding are also used throughout our episodes as a vehicle for interaction with local cultures and languages. Since starting the project, my involvement behind the scenes has grown, and my ability behind the camera, and producing content, have also led me to other creative endeavors. I produced Rumble Magazine in 2014 with a friend; the goal was to put together a series of raw interviews together in a well produced and 'real' feeling book. These interviews had the goal of exposing the opinions and thought processes of our inspirations to a greater audience

Producer/Director/Cinematographer from Brooklyn, NYC. Now residing in the Bay area. Freelancer for KQED Arts & Sciences. Currently commissioned by the Oakland Museum for 3 films about West Oakland set to screen in july 2016 til 2017. Back in NYC I was Producer for two seasons of a TV show called "Behind the Unsigned" for FuseTV. The show was a reality-docu series that profiled unsigned talent receiving notoriety independent of a record label deal. Soon after I created my own indy series called "Say Something Worth Something", SSWS for short. It was a play on the MTA transit slogan "If You See Something Say Something". It profiles artist and creators in the NYC Metro area that I felt deserved a platform. The series was picked up by Complex mag. and AfroPunk Festival. This series is what garnered the attention of KQED. I really enjoy working on docs long & short. I have a feature length doc on gender identity I completed this year in the role of Lead DP called "We Exist".
