ShakaJamal
Director ∙ Cinematographer ∙ Educator
My work highlights the inspiring work of change makers—often that which they cannot see themselves.
I work with non-profits and corporations dedicated to transforming the social fabric of our community.
Through my own work, and through curation, education, and guidance, I create settings that showcase the inspiring voices of those that are not often heard.
