010: The healing power of the arts with Amanda Lucidon

Amanda Lucidon is an award-winning documentarian, filmmaker, public speaker and New York Times best-selling author. She served as an Official White House photographer responsible for documenting First Lady Michelle Obama and President Barack Obama from 2013 to 2017 and is one of only a few female White House photographers in history. Amanda is the author of Chasing Light: Through the Lens of a White House Photographer and Reach Higher: An Inspring Photo Celebration of First Lady Michelle Obama. In this episode, Amanda describes what it actually means to be responsible for documenting the daily life of the Obamas for history, both inside the White House and around the world, and how she remains ready to photograph anything at any moment. She reveals how growing up as one of ten children allowed her imagination and creativity to blossom, and the beauty of imperfection. Amanda takes us behind the scenes on some of her most recognizable images and tells us what she learned from Mrs. Obama. She talks about the power of personal projects, bringing arts into underserved communities as a Kennedy Center Turnaround Artist and her latest work bringing arts and mindfulness to a Memphis juvenile detention center. This is We Are Photographers with Amanda Lucidon, and this is her story.
