This week we are thrilled to be joined by writer/director Michelle West! Michelle talks to us about familial secrets, abortion rights of old (that may become new again), and the importance of addressing ancestral trauma to create opportunities for future generations.

She is currently creating a film that features these stories in LINEAGE - and the fundraising is going on now. Visit here to learn more about it https://www.seedandspark.com/fund/lineageshortfilm#story
