About Me:: January 17th, 2015 - TORONTO, ONTARIO, Kasha Sequoia Slavner, a Canadian teenage photographer/filmmaker, 4x UN youth delegate and recent recipient of the first ever Kim Phuc Youth Award for Peace, recently launched her new book, Reflections of the Sunrise Storyteller- A Journey into the Heart as a Global Citizen© in Toronto along with a 32-piece photography exhibition Travels Into the Heart©.

The exhibition which had its’ inaugural launch in New York in March 2015 and then in Portland Oregon in July, featured photography from the 6-month journey she took with her mother last year for the purpose of filming an inspiring crowdsource funded feature documentary, The Sunrise Storyteller©.

The film, which will be released later this year, features some of the stories of hope and human triumph that are reflected in Kasha’s photography, showcasing what it means to be a compassionate global citizen. As a social entrepreneur since the young age of 8, Kasha uses her photography and filmmaking to contribute to local and global causes.

After attending the UN as a youth delegate at 14 she was very motivated to start using her creative talents to raise awareness for social justice issues and founded The Global Sunrise Project which acts as the hub for the various media projects she’s creating.

Her stories are a teenager’s account of triumph over adversity and the power of resilience and creativity, with heart-to-heart connection, to change the world. Kasha’s work is intended to raise awareness and act as a call to action for those waking up to their own potential for meaningful civic engagement and empowered leadership.

Leaving from New York City on the morning of Kasha’s 16th birthday, she set out to make connections with and interview people all across East Africa and Southeast Asia for her film.
