<div>Fuel the launch of a global visibility movement for Black neurodivergent women.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>"UNMASKED”</strong> is both <strong>film and ancestral tech</strong> — a docuseries &amp; movement by a queer autistic vegan filmmaker reclaiming voice, legacy, and representation on a global scale.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>UNMASKED: A Global Black Autistic Movement:
</div>
<div><strong><em>A docuseries, a digital ecosystem, and an act of ancestral autonomy.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>UNMASKED is more than a film. It’s a living record of what happens when a Black autistic woman finally steps into her voice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is <strong>Natalee Eason.</strong>
</div>
<div>I’m a Black, queer, autistic, epileptic, self-taught filmmaker, photographer, storyteller, and solopreneur.
</div>
<div>For the past year and a half, I’ve been nomadic — building an entire digital ecosystem across countries<strong> </strong>with my <strong>self-trained service dog</strong> by my side.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I’ve filmed 11,000+ hours of footage across borders, </strong>documenting movement, solitude, extreme sports, artistry, and the ancestral memory that carried me long before I had the word “autistic.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>UNMASKED is the film I’ve been creating my whole life — even before I understood that my silence, stimming, and creativity were my first languages.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How UNMASKED Grew into a Global Ecosystem: </strong>
</div>
<div>UNMASKED didn’t stay a film.
</div>
<div>It expanded — into a complete digital ecosystem for Black neurodivergent women worldwide.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Built entirely by me.
</div>
<div>Autistic. 
</div>
<div>Epileptic. 
</div>
<div>Nomadic.
</div>
<div>Learning everything alone from scratch.
</div>
<div>Airbnb to Airbnb.
</div>
<div>No team.
</div>
<div>No funding.
</div>
<div>Just calling.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This is what I’ve already built — with nearly nothing:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>✔ 7-Day Self-Love Course + Community (Live)</strong>
</div>
<div>A trauma-informed, sensory-aware course created for Black and BIPOC neurodivergent women.
</div>
<div>It includes:
</div>
<div>• Daily lessons on unmasking, self-compassion, and regulation
</div>
<div>• A private community + in-lesson discussions
</div>
<div>• A 10page Mindfulness Meditation Guide I wrote and recorded myself
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>✔ Neurodivergent 60-Card Deck + 12-Week Course (Live for Pre-Sale)</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A guided journey through 60 traits many of us were never taught to recognize as neurodivergence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Built around my original M.A.M.M.A.L. framework
</div>
<div>(Movement • Ancestry • Mindfulness • Masking Awareness • Advocacy Through Action • Love as Leadership).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each card becomes a week in the 12-week course, with:
</div>
<div>• Video lessons
</div>
<div>• Journaling prompts
</div>
<div>• Cultural reflections
</div>
<div>• Sensory-aware practices
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is designed for late-identified and undiagnosed adults who spent decades masking without language.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>✔ The Convenient Vegan Digital Cookbook ( Waitlist Open)</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A plant-based digital cookbook &amp; minicourse for healing neurodivergent nervous systems &amp; reclaiming autonomy.
</div>
<div>Right now, you can preview the project through my lead-magnet essay and join the waitlist for launch.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>✔ Neurodivergent Retreat Abroad #1 (Live on SquadTrip)</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A plant-based, sensory-considerate retreat abroad for ND Black women.
</div>
<div>Applications are open.
</div>
<div>This is what healing in motion looks like when our needs are centered.
</div>
<div><br />

<div>✔<strong>ND &amp; Queer Travel Guides — digital guides series from intentionally filmed nomadic adventures abroad, showing how we travel the world unmasked.</strong>

</div>
<div>The Vegan Soul Tribe homebase is now live, housing:
</div>
<div>• UNMASKED film - 10 Episode docuseries across countries 11K Hrs unseen
</div>
<div>• The M.A.M.M.A.L. framework (self-healing &amp; regulation model) 
</div>
<div>• Neurodivergent Courses, retreats, and resources
</div>
<div>• 3 Pathways to grow “Learn • Support • Experience” 
</div>
<div>• The Director’s Statement &amp; UNMASKED film Manifesto for anyone wanting to study the project in depth.
</div>
<div>• Full digital autonomy infrastructure
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>All of this has been built by one autistic woman — moving across countries with a camera, a laptop, and a service dog — without institutional funding or stability.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>This is the digital proof that</em></strong><em> </em><strong><em>Black autistic women build global legacies when we are given space to breathe.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I’m Raising Funds Now</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve built an entire autistic-led digital ecosystem on my own — but right now, I’m still a one-woman studio holding all of it together while living abroad, covering housing and basics every few weeks, without family support or institutional backing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fund is not about rescuing me.
</div>
<div>It’s about <strong>stabilizing a movement that already exists</strong> — <strong>so it doesn’t collapse just as it’s beginning to serve the people it was built for.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your support will allow me to:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>1. Keep the Digital Ecosystem Stable &amp; Accessible</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Website and course platform hosting
</div>
<div>• Secure storage for 11,000+ hours of UNMASKED footage
</div>
<div>• Editing tools, email systems, and automation platforms
</div>
<div>• Accessibility tools like captioning, transcripts, and alt text
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>2. Finish and Distribute the UNMASKED Trailer</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Editing, color, sound, and score
</div>
<div>• Festival submissions and industry outreach
</div>
<div>• Building the bridge toward producers and partners, including:
</div>
<div>Ava DuVernay, Issa Rae, Tyler Perry, Dee Rees, Raven Jemison, and others
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>3. Maintain Safety and Stability While I Build</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Safe, short-term housing
</div>
<div>• Food and essentials
</div>
<div>• Care and supplies for my self-trained service dog, my partner in regulation and a co-character in this story
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>4. Continue Growing the Vegan Soul Tribe Ecosystem</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Marketing for retreats
</div>
<div>• Course rollouts
</div>
<div>• Community-building
</div>
<div>• Content creation
</div>
<div>• Expanding resources for Black neurodivergent women globally
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>5. (Secondary) Pursue Neurological Evaluation Abroad</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Not for validation —
</div>
<div>for clarity, empowerment, and accuracy as part of the documentary.
</div>
<div>This is a piece of the story, not the center of the fundraiser or film.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Support &amp; Representation Still Matter</strong>
</div>
<div>For decades, autism research barely saw Black women.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9745006/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A landmark review</a> of autism research found that <strong>across 77 years of studies,</strong> only 3 studies even <strong>named </strong>Black autistic women and girls.
</div>
<div>None of them addressed race, gender &amp; disability intersectionally. They were<strong> ignored entirely</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The result?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>We are under-diagnosed, misdiagnosed, or ignored.
</li>
<li>Our meltdowns get treated as attitude or aggression.
</li>
<li>Our gifts get used, but our needs never get named.
</li>
<li>Our stories <strong>rarely </strong>make it to the screen — and when they do, they’re often written by people who’ve never lived what we live.
</li>
<li>A lifetime of masking with no language for it
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>UNMASKED exists to correct that erasure.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This film isn’t asking for funding <em>because </em>I am Black and autistic.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>It’s asking for funding because for nearly a century, our stories have been left out, misunderstood, or misrepresented — and there is a moral responsibility to change that.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You don’t have to fully understand “why Black” to understand exclusion. The data already proved it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>UNMASKED is here to bring visibility, truth, and lived experience to a place where none existed.</strong>
