Today we honor Juneteenth, a day that marks freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equity.

As storytellers, we believe every story has the power to preserve history, celebrate culture, and create understanding. Today is a reminder to listen, learn, reflect, and continue making space for voices that deserve to be heard.

Happy Juneteenth.

This weekend, we celebrated Mtende Roll's second book launch and witnessed something special.

Two short films we produced in 2023 were screened publicly for the very first time. Seeing these stories come to life on the big screen was an unforgettable moment. ✨

Congratulations, Mtende, on this incredible milestone! 🎬📖 Here are a few stills from the films.
