Bio: My name is Cristina Cabral, I am a mother of two, a documentary filmmaker, a journalist, activist feminist. I am a cosmopolitan woman an adventurer living in London.My motherhood instincts coupled with my passion to media and storytelling encouraged me to start a masters in diversity and the media. The world needs more representation and as a Criola I believe there is urgent to educate our communities and empower our women to pursuit their dreams. I am the director of the awarded documentary : “ I am Criola” a film about my first travel to Cape Verde. From this experience I feel that I wasn’t born in Cape Verde but Cape Verde was born in me. Currently I am shaping my media skills into different interdisciplinary approaches in the creation of more academic and visual artefacts to educate our young children.
