Indian born writer, filmmaker and photographer, Sej Saraiya graduated with an MFA from the University of Southern California. For the last ten years, she has been traveling to remote places in the world documenting Indigenous wisdom. In 2018, Sej was invited to mentor at the Empowered Indigenous Filmmakers Masterclass in British Columbia, when her focus changed. Seeing the power in Indigenous youth telling their own stories, she now focuses on providing a platform to Indigenous youth and elders to speak and share their wisdom.
