In 2015, after taking a sabbatical from producing, Tanny returned to storytelling and was determined to produce films by Asian-American storytellers. She produced the critically acclaimed short film, More Than One, a story that examines the complicated issue of abortion, written by Jordan Wong and directed by Takahisa Shiraishi. This film served as a turning point in how Tanny understood the power of film, this film reflects her dedication to bringing unheard voices to the screen.

COVID Stories: My Journey Home | Tanny Jiraprapasuke Ep 3

For this episode, I got to speak with Melissa Center, an award-winning filmmaker &amp; actress, and Tanny Jiraprapasuke, a mindful coach, practitioner, &amp; scholar, who met by chance in Los Angeles, at the National Women’s Political Caucus Summer Spritz event. As women in support of other women: they discovered a mutual desire to shift the moral paradigm around closing the gender pay-gap, reevaluating hiring practices, and transforming organizations’ cultures. Melissa and Tanny decided to combine their talents, aligned values, and full dedication to affecting change for good. They are not trying to dismantle “systems,” but rather to interrupt the status quo “systems” by offering a new kind of system: Whole Self Systems. Through Whole Self Systems, Melissa &amp; Tanny inspire new ways of communicating, empower ethical leaders (many from marginalized communities), and elevate workplaces that prioritize diversity, gender equanimity, &amp; social innovation. We spoke earlier this year, before we were all in isolation, but somehow this work seems even more relevant now, as many people are looking inward toward mindfulness and as the world is changing before our very eyes.
