"The Embrace of a Bird" proposes how a simple hug can spark healing from your heart to your soul, even if it does come from a stranger (or a bird).

Based on true events, this is the story about the broken marriage of Tyler and Eve, who after losing their young son, they go through a crucial moment in their relationship.

Thinking that Eve was on her way to a job interview, Tyler realizes that somehow, he has Eve’s folder instead of a folder with patents he’s about to sell, revealing that his wife is on her way to somewhere else and exposing her true intentions.

As Eve fights her own battles, she attempts to find an escape from her own sadness, crossing paths with a stranger and a crow.

All three vulnerable creatures are in search of compassion and redemption in a desperate moment of desolation, hopelessness, and bereavement that bring them all deep peace, defining the course of their lives.

The film also stars Anouar H. Smaine & Greg Bennett

Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. I shot a TV commercial to spread awareness about the massive misogyny wave that woman still have to go through worldwide.

While I grew up surrounded by loving brothers and a kind father, plus, I dated men who always respected me, including the dear man I married, @JustinTRegis. I have learned about cases that are unacceptable, so I decided to donate this picture to the campaign back then.

Violence comes in different forms, physically, intellectually, psychologically. They all are wrong!

Violence against women and girls remains one of the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violations in the world. Globally, an estimated 736+ million women — almost one in three — have been subjected to physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both, at least once in their life.
