THE DUCHESS OF GRANT PARK

In 2019 we filmed a short film, called The Duchess of Grant Park. In 2020, the film was finished with editing, and submitted to festivals.

At the heart of this story is community, self- care, and perseverance through obstacles. The Duchess feels compelled to give back to her community because of the support they have given her as she has transitioned and suffered losses. Her way of giving back becomes her form of self-care.

Since then, Her Grace has taken on a life of her own, with a mission of spreading self-love, inclusion, representation, and access, including the upcoming Royal Southeastern Independent Film Tour.

I am truly amazed at how far this project has come, and I invite you to follow along on the website for The Duchess of Grant Park!
