MEDIA AND LITERATURE

The Laundromat Doc | Website | Mental Health Resources
"The Laundromat is a documentary about many of these issues of silence, shame, and cyclical family dynamics, but just as important, The Laundromat is a name for the safe space I hope to create with this movie. I hope the film can be used as a jumping off point for reflection on one’s upbringing and the culture of the community you live in. Sometimes all one needs to begin this process is some breathing room, some emotional safety and a push in the right direction."
