Project Notes

Her Side of the Story
Brooklyn, New York · August 2026

Invited to witness my nephew Tori Mims’ directorial debut, I entered an intimate Brooklyn cabaret filled with live music, expressive performances, and familiar stories retold from the heroine’s perspective. This project documents the young artists who gave those stories new voices, movements, and emotional life.
