Invisible Lines
Invisible Lines is the short film I’m currently working on. It’s about my family, but also about Silicon Valley—the parts people never talk about.
I grew up in East Palo Alto, just across the freeway from the tech world that changed everything. This documentary follows me as I return home to unpack what happened to my community, what’s happening to my nephew now, and how tech companies are still drawing the same lines between who gets to succeed and who gets left behind.
It’s personal. It’s political. It’s about survival, displacement, and what it means to go back when you never really got to leave.
Tzedakah
Tzedakah is a short documentary I created while minoring in Jewish Studies. The film follows three students—a Jewish girl whose grandparents perished in Auschwitz, a Black girl from the U.S. (me), and a non-white girl from Canada—as we travel through Germany and Poland, retracing the paths of Holocaust history. We stay with a survivor and confront not just the weight of the past, but our roles as witnesses—second-hand, removed by time but not by impact. The film explores what it means to be a bystander then and now, and asks what we owe each other in the face of human atrocity. Tzedakah, a Yiddish word meaning “to give back,” became our lens: not just for learning history, but for how we carry it forward.
