Dr. King said: "I’ve been to the mountaintop … I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there w/ you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land.”⠀

May we honor Dr. King's life & his death, & continue his legacy. #MLKDay

MLK moved people to cheers, tears, & TO ACTION. He seemed larger than life, yet he was mortal, & his life was taken at age 39.

Not 24hrs before his assassination, MLK's last public speech "I have seen the Mountaintops“ was foreshadowing & his words live on... #MLKDay

This time last year, and on 2 Nov we visited Mixquic. We met Eder. When we learned that his family has lived in Mixquic for 3 generations and he's a self-taught artist, we know we had to share his story.

Enjoy (& share!) our latest micro-doc 🙏🙏

Such beautiful memories! 🖤

1:3 - This year’s Día de Muertos festivities will feel different from usual. It is ironic that the reason we aren’t able to gather to celebrate death is, in fact, because so many people are dying.

While the federal gov continues to call it Columbus Day, many states/cities pay tribute to the land’s Native peoples.

Today's a reminder to recognize the lives, cultures, & traditions of Indigenous peoples.
