12 girls from COACHELLA came together over the 2013-2014 Winter Break to produce three short web-video documentaries about their mothers, all of which can now be viewed online. These madres, the girls’ mothers, tias and abuelas recall their own experiences as young girls and as immigrants, fostering a deeper understanding of their crucial role as female leaders in their families. Through this process, the young girls discovered the potential for building self-esteem, pride and motivation for becoming a leader or activist in their own communities.

I am Not Ashamed
