“I am truly excited to be a part of a project that provides a forum for children to tell their own stories, stories that are often the most genuine yet often misinterpreted or never even heard. By giving them the tools to create their own documentaries, these stories can finally be told from their perspective, a point of view that will hopefully strike a chord with others in similar situations throughout the world. By enabling such storytelling, BYkids will work to bridge cultural gaps, as well as help illustrate the universality of the human condition. At a time when people tend to focus on our differences as opposed to our similarities, such a contribution is invaluable.”

Susan was the first Board member and she will serve as one of the Film Mentors to a youth in another country. Among Hollywood’s top documentary and television producers, her shows have included Kitchen Nightmares for FOX, For Love or Money for NBC, Discovery Channel’s World Championship Adventure Race, and Rat for National Geographic.
