Created by Ana Marroquin Tercero, Skarlet Barba, Debra Sani, and Estrella Barcenas, the below film–A Letter to You– is about four young women of color, their struggles with beauty standards, and their journey towards self-love and collective empowerment.

This film is one of five short social-impact documentaries co-produced by the Women’s Voices Now program, Girls’ Voices Now, in summer 2020. The program empowers girls and femme-identifying youth from low-income and underrepresented communities of the greater Los Angeles area to find, develop, and use their voice for positive social change through filmmaking.
