Bertilda Duhon Lacy

I began writing at the age of 12 years old. Initially, writing was a tool that I used to channel my heavy emotions and feelings. I could be anyone, anywhere in the world and I had complete control over how the story unfolded. As I grew older so did my love for writing. It became my passion. Now, it is my biggest dream to see my work on the big screen. Although I am a mental health therapist, I strongly believe that storytelling is one of the single most beneficial tools to healing past hurts, trauma, and experiences. As a writer, I hope to inspire other young women of color to tell their stories and experiences through film.
