Help Me Tell the Stories the World Forgot

She Said What She Said is a global documentary series exploring motherhood, identity, and inequality through the lens of a single mother (me!) traveling the world with her child.

Created, directed, and hosted by a single mum with a backpack, a child and a mission, this series centers the voices of women raising children in a world that was not built with us in mind.

I will capture raw conversations, lived experiences, and untold truths from women around the world. I want to make very clear that this isn’t a travel vlog, where I share itineraries and 'day in the lives'. This is political. This is personal. This is storytelling as resistance.

why the heck am I’m doing this?

As a single mom, I know what it means to parent while being unheard, unseen, and underestimated.

As a traveler, I know that women—especially mothers—are too often left out of global narratives. Especially when we don’t fit into the system.

This series is my way of flipping the lens and amplifying the voices that matter most.

what your donations will fund:

This is a completely independent project—and I’m doing it all on my own:

Producing, directing, editing, interviewing, traveling... with my daughter in tow.

Your donations will directly support:

Travel Costs (flights, visas, ground transport to reach interviewees in places normal tourists don't go)

Filming Equipment (microphones, lighting, backup drives)

Post-Production (editing, subtitles, translations, music licensing)

Fair Pay for Local Collaborators (interpreters, guides, photographers and the interviewees of course!)

<3 how you’ll be honored

I believe money in the right hands can lead to the most incredible movements and changes in our world.

Money, at its core, is power.

Raising funds for this project means that power gets redistributed—to mothers, locals, and creatives whose voices are too often overlooked.

It means paying local women for their stories.

It means hiring local talent instead of extracting culture.

It means offering dignity, not charity.

It means showing up with resources, not just a camera.

Every single donor will be named in the credits at the end of each episode, because when I say this work is community-powered, I mean it!

Thank you for believing in this work.
