Yalili Work Sesh @ Obet & Dels

​Through my company Yalili, I'm hosting shared work sessions focused on the SWANA community and Palestine allies at Obet & Dels private studio (next door to their coffee shop).

​Hollywood has a history of villainizing, dehumanizing, and reducing SWANA people to caricatures and stereotypes. It’s not enough to work in the film industry. We have to make it better.

​The idea is to have monthly sessions open to film industry (and industry adjacent folks) who are allies of Palestine and who care about course correcting the narratives of SWANA people in cinema and beyond.

​Feel free to talk about actionable items or just come to work.

​Come anytime between 11am-3pm

​Work solo

​Bring collaborators

​Meet others

​Get inspired

​Strategize

​Oh, and what is Yalili? It’s a word I made up for my creative design and import company based on my childhood nickname, and when my mom would call out to me.
