Getting my toenails did

In between starting a new job, moving, and working on some major projects for clients, June was an incredibly busy month for me to say the least. So much so that I withstood blinding walls of pink, the smell of lavender and clichéd femininity to treat myself to a pedicure yesterday as my master reward (see right).

It was lovely.

With that said, June didn’t leave much time (read: any) for my videos, but I’m brainstorming some new ones as we speak!

While you are awaiting impatiently for those, I did do a video for my work that I wanted to share with you about a really great San Francisco-based nonprofit called WeOwnTV, which trains youth in Sierra Leone the art of filmmaking. One of my colleagues has already written about it extensively on the company blog, including an interview with the co-founder, so please go there to get the full scoop!

WeOwnTV serves as a reminder to all of us that video is not only a mechanism to record our family outings, friends’ weddings, or even create silly tech videos for that matter, but to change lives:
