What Justice Looks Like: Two Young Women’s Voices in ArtJoin TNS Host Ladybird Morgan for a conversation with two young women filmmakers who are finding their voices through film and other media.

She unwaveringly loves the untouched earth, the sand dunes, and the hemorrhage of stars in the desert’s sky.Anika VelasquezAnika is a 17 year old, Latinx, actress/screenwriter who is currently working on an original TV show.
