My first SX as the film liaison for documentary feature filmmakers was nothing short of transcendent. I’m so proud of everyone — my team and the filmmakers.

We created and held space for the world’s best storytellers to reach hearts and expand minds. We created opportunities for people to deepen their love for cinema. We were kind and generous and our butts looked amazing while doing it. I can’t thank my SX coworkers enough for teaching me so much in four months. Cheers to the 2026 season 🫶🏼✨🤓🌸

Words can’t express how excited I am that we get to create this art in collaboration with our Central Texas community this year! Huge thank you to @austinfilm for trusting this incredible team (@ivywchiu, @poundofpasta, @katrina_fairlee) to make something meaningful for all. We are so honored!

Grandma’s House is a short film that asks: ‘What if, in moments of uncertainty, we all had more access to the grounded wisdom of a kind elder?’

This film will feature matriarchs with big, booming laughter, deeply lined faces, and powerful stories. Women who’ve known joy and pain and have something generous and beautiful to offer. Their wisdom can help us better understand who we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re going, as individuals and as a Central Texas community.

Grandma’s House is a salve, here to soothe hearts, spark connection, and elevate the incredible people who live in our region. I aim to honor the oral histories of older Texan women, and to preserve their stories and life lessons before they’re gone.

We’ll start casting in April, if you know women over 65 with something to say and a regular art, baking, farming practice, please give me a holler.

Shout out to my Grandmother, who just turned 89 and is one of the inspirations for this project.

Tarcila: Indigenous Solutions to Climate Change from Peru is playing tonight at DAWA Studios as part of the music-film-dialogue event Indigenous Women & the Fight for Climate.

Join us to amplify Indigenous women’s voices and build community around finding solutions to the climate crisis.

The climate crisis is making rainfall harder to predict and water more difficult to manage. For people already living in arid regions, extremes are making life more precarious, threatening livelihoods, food security, and long-term stability.

Earlier this year, the 100 Ways team traveled to Gujarat, India, where we joined Trupti Jain and the team at Naireeta Services on a visit to rural farmers using their innovative water-saving technology, Bhungroo.

During our journey, we met a collective of women who are not only using Bhungroo to manage scarce water resources, but also leveraging it to transform their lives. By saving money on farming costs, they’ve been able to pool their resources, launch small businesses, and generate new income streams.

As their economic power grows, so does their social power. With newfound financial independence, these women are gaining freedoms, like being able to leave their homes to visit the bank or participate in community decision making.

What we witnessed was a profound example of how climate mitigation and gender equality can strengthen one another. Bhungroo not only helps communities adapt to a changing climate, it unlocks leadership, resilience, and dignity in the process. When women are empowered to lead climate solutions, entire communities benefit.

We’re excited to share a brief preview of what we’ve captured, a glimpse into the powerful work happening on the ground. Our deepest thanks to Trupti Jain, Biplab Paul, and the entire Naireeta Services team, as well as the incredible women who welcomed us into their lives.

Special thanks to Sidrah Fatma Ahmed, Omar Khan, and Rana Rakesh, our local production team — this would not have been possible without your insight, dedication, and support.

Greetings friends! We are pleased to invite you to our event Indigenous Women & The Fight For Climate at @dawaheals on June 20.

Austin’s own Native Andean music community, Wayra, will kick off the event with two songs and a brief ceremony.

Next we will screen two short films centering Indigenous women’s leadership within the response to the growing climate crisis: Tarcila: Indigenous Solutions to Climate Change from Peru (16 min), and Fire is Not Your Enemy (8 min).

Afterward, we will hear from Do’wal Sehi (Sunshine), a Karankawa Hawk Clan educator, resistance artist, and language keeper, who will offer a local perspective on the climate crisis.

This event is intended to elevate the ideas and wisdom of Indigenous Peoples, and to use various art forms to form connections. We hope to see you there! Use the link in bio to RSVP.

2024, the year I chose to follow my heart and commit to making a feature film about women and the climate crisis (@100waysfilm).

I have been talking about making this film for 10 years. I’ve made short films along the way (@tarcilafilm), and have been busy building the trustworthy friendships and partnerships that I am now depending on to help me tell this story.

I believe the way out of the climate crisis is fair, funded, feminist climate action. To achieve this we need to build the political will to take on politicians, like the ones in my state of Texas who are actively striving to dismantle any efforts to reduce the use of fossil fuels.

We need stories that show how climate emissions are affecting people on the frontlines of the crisis, to motivate policymakers to lower emissions and fund climate action. We need stories about how communities and coalitions are working together for change.

I am excited to bring you these stories. It’s my purpose and passion. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved so far and am looking forward to sharing more with you in 2025.

As the climate crisis deepens, food systems everywhere are being damaged. Although all people rely on food systems, people whose culture is agricultural are feeling the distress within their very identities.

The 100 Ways team has just returned from an incredibly poignant and impactful week in Peru, where we joined Tarcila Rivera Zea and the team at Chirapaq for a momentous event celebrating their 40th anniversary.

This powerful gathering brought together Indigenous communities from across Peru, uniting them in a shared mission to reclaim their identity, preserve their cultures, and combat the pervasive forces of discrimination.

These communities are undeniably on the frontlines of the climate crisis. In the Andean region, we witnessed firsthand the catastrophic effects of record droughts that are delaying crucial seed sowing and threatening the very survival of local food systems. The harsh reality is that these communities are fighting for their existence—yet they are not without strategies. Their ways of life, deeply rooted in ancestral knowledge and sustainable practices, hold powerful solutions to the climate crisis. In many ways, their wisdom represents some of the strongest tools we have in the fight against climate change.

We documented how they are working together to strengthen connections to traditional ways of life to reinstate the natural balance.

We have gathered extensive footage from Peru, and we are still in the process of editing. However, we are pleased to share a brief preview of what we’ve captured so far—a glimpse into the powerful work being done on the ground. We will be releasing more content as we go.

Thank you to Tarcila Rivera Zea, the Chirapaq team, Viviana Nelly Villagaray Crisostomo, and all the communities who joined for the celebration.

Special thanks to Alonso Luján, camera operator, translator, and dear friend. We couldn’t have done this without your support.

We’re thrilled to share an exciting new 2-minute teaser from our recent trip to the UN General Assembly, where we documented the feminist movement for equality within climate policy. This powerful footage showcases the determination of women leaders who are pushing for systemic change on the world stage. It’s a glimpse into the critical work this documentary will highlight, and we hope it inspires you as much as it did us.

We’re in the final stretch with just 5 days left in our Seed & Spark campaign. (Link in bio)
