Hello Everyone,
Proud to see this conversation reaching a wider audience.
Congratulations to Adelaide Day and the entire Rainbow Connections team on today's PIX11 feature. It has been an honor to serve as Director and Production Partner alongside Adi in bringing "See Me" to life and founding Rainbow Connections
As we launch during Pride Month, I'm reminded that storytelling has the power to move beyond headlines, politics and misinformation. Through the voices of transgender and nonbinary individuals, See Me, a mini documentary I co-directed with Adi, seeks to highlight something fundamentally human: the desire to be seen, respected and valued for who we are.
What drew me to this project was not politics, but people. As a documentary photojournalist at my core, I have always believed that the fastest way to dismantle fear and misunderstanding is through proximity. When we take the time to listen to one another's stories, labels begin to fade and humanity takes center stage.
The individuals who shared their lives with us did so with extraordinary courage, honesty and vulnerability. Their stories are not about being different. They are about family, ambition, love, loss, identity and belonging—the same themes that connect all of us. Every person featured in this project has a unique journey, yet together they reveal a universal truth: dignity, equality and opportunity belong to everyone.
I am grateful to PIX11 for helping amplify these voices and to everyone at Rainbow Connections who made this work possible. Most of all, I am thankful to the participants who trusted us with their stories. Their willingness to be seen may help others feel seen as well.
At a time when so much public discourse is driven by division, I hope this film reminds viewers that compassion is not weakness, understanding is not surrender and human rights are not selective.
Happy Pride Month. 🏳️🌈
