Director Biography - Jamiea Zarzuela

Jamia Zarzuela is a strong believer in Nina Simone’s philosophy that, “An artist’s duty… is to reflect the time.” For Nina, it was only natural to combine her love of art & passion for politics. For Jamia, it is storytelling through various art mediums to digestibly present complex nuances and overwhelming data. Not only is she a grad student studying public policy, but she is also a self-published poet, filmmaker, podcaster, and photographer with a running exhibit. TYT Investigates was the best place to continue her engagement with the issues that matter.

Director Statement

"There's a dance us mothers do when we're trying to chase our dreams.And being a wife is a whole other song to sing. Preforming for a family shouldn't mean the loss of ones identity." The opening lines is a love letter to myself and anyone else desiring to be their best selves when wearing many hats.
