Director Statement

I have known Chloe since she was a young girl and have always been impressed with her artistic expression. I am also inspired by her anti-racist activism, her entrepreneurial spirit, and how she is a quiet yet powerful leader in our community. Parts of her story had already been shared in the media, but I wanted to dig deeper and allow her to share her thoughts in a more fulsome way.
