Fund The DNA Journey Video Series

Some of you might remember my previous campaign to raise funds for a work sample and pre-production for this video series, sharing my personal journey in uncovering a huge family secret and learning my truth. The first campaign was moderately successful in soliciting some resources, but the larger grantmakers can't seem to envision this project on a larger scale with words on paper.

I'm back to provide a bit more "proof of concept," while seeking funding to assist in some of the more challenging aspects for me to execute on my own. I'd love to offer a small stipend to additional production staff who can help me give this project the professional look it deserves.

I've been blessed to work on other contracts that have given me funds to acquire most of the tech that this project requires. New camera, wireless mics, a tripod, and an editing computer. Big ticket items that I've paid for out of pocket because I'm not afraid to invest in myself. I am hoping that more of you will see the value in this project as well, and give to help it come to fruition.

Consider me "Finding Your Roots" for regular people.

I want to share my story while showing you how it gets done without major endorsements, underwriting, and paid professionals. Independent, authentic, complex, and beautiful. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
