CineFAM Opening Night 2021 – The Beauty of Film
October 23, 2021 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Beauty Standards are not bound by the limits we currently see. Challenging and changing the idea of beauty is critical for self-acceptance. A wider scope of beauty is necessary.
Part midlife crisis and sassy leap of faith, Veronica Antipolo started storytelling and comedy after getting let go from “a good job”. She’s the co-founder of Mosaic Untold Lives – a storytelling platform for Women of Color. Her stories and writing have been featured in Stories We Don’t Tell: The Book, CBC Radio’s The Doc Project and Reader’s Digest. A cheerleader of women, Veronica hopes to connect people through producing, storytelling and comedy that showcase diverse narratives. A single mom who’s sassy and real, Veronica refuses to miss any more moments not doing these things that she loves.
