ABOUT US
A Girls Build LA Team at Ánimo Leadership Charter High School!
OUR MISSION
Somos Mujeres con Ánimo, a team of 13 young women seeking to strengthen and support our community through participating in and highlighting work being done throughout the greater LA area to combat the injustices facing immigrants, particularly immigrant women. We acknowledge that “reinventing the wheel” is not always the most productive way of creating change, so it is important to us that we engage with and uplift those whose passion and tireless work precedes us.
While it is easy to focus on the systemic and social challenges faced by immigrant communities, we aim to steer the conversation towards telling stories of the power and resilience of the women facing these challenges. Using the medium of documentary filmmaking, we seek to blanket our audience in the voices and the stories of women who are so often dismissed, and in doing so, contribute to building a platform for recognition that they so deeply deserve.
