“A Healing Justice” is an animation about what restorative justice is and how it can help people understand our trauma. I created this piece because restorative justice is a better and more worthwhile alternative to penalizing and imprisoning people who've done wrong. Restorative justice isn't used enough today, however it allows for people to talk out their problems, solve them and grow from their experiences.

“A _________ Home” is an animation about the space left behind by an individual who has been incarcerated. I created this piece because I wanted to tell the story of an individual during their incarceration and show their home and their lifestyle by the life left behind.

“F.A.L” or “ Forgiveness, Acceptance, Love.” is an animation about a young man named Trevor. Through the animation, you see the struggles he has to face not only with others but himself.
I created this piece because I wanted to tell you the story and message about accepting others for who they are, good and bad. That we’re not perfect, but human. We make mistakes in our lives and it doesn’t make us bad people. We hurt and harm, but we also cure and heal. People are more than what we label them as, be it criminal, murderer, thief, or a “bad person”. When we accept others for everything they are, we can help the cuts and bruises within them and heal and learn to love unconditionally.

“2016” is a picture music video about a dystopian future where a nationwide law virtually makes it illegal to be queer in any shape or form, and how it affects trans-youth. I created this piece because as a Trans Teen Of Color (TTOC), transgender rights are very important to me. I want to be able to show a terrifying possibility of the future of queer folk to encourage people take the Queer Rights movement seriously.
