Portfolio Samples

I often heard family and elders tell stories of their homeland. One aunt told me that since she didn't know how to express her stories in words, she sewed it down on a paj ntaub, or a story cloth. Through photography and filmmaking, I learned how to express myself. It wasn’t until becoming a part of In Progress and meeting the artists there that I found my voice. Everyone has a story to be told. Some folks just need a little help learning how to tell theirs.
