La Frontera: Travel Book
The bridge between the Earth Day capsule and the travel book. This one minute long trailer brought life to the location explored in the 3-part series, introducing the travel book and bringing its viewer into the border. Directed and narrated by Romina.
Soundtrack by Steve Salazar.
Throughout my life, I have been in search of a way to show the border to the outside world in a way that feels authentic: beautiful, deep, chaotic, full of culture and community. La Frontera is a photojournalistic approach to a travel booklet exploring these borderlands. For one year I traveled back and forth, interviewing and spending time with the people and places that encompass both sides of the border. The booklet highlights everything from natural landscapes and women led art studios, to an ex-convict with a message and personal thoughts on identity and my own experience growing up there.
A bonus story shares the images of the NatGeo Earth Day capsule with exclusive interviews with each photographer.
Writing and photography by Romina unless noted.

An exhibition launch event in the M’Finda Kalunga garden in Chinatown, NYC, featured an installation throughout the garden and CBD infused fruit drinks sponsored by Rosebud CBD. This was the first time the garden opened their doors to a public event.
