Cultural Storytelling

Francophonie Month Cultural Exchange Series

For the Month of Francophonie in NYC, I created a short-form video series highlighting cultural and linguistic exchanges within the francophone community.

Francophonie Month

The series made the French language feel accessible, funny, and rooted in real conversations between francophones living in New York.

I created short cultural exchange videos with members of different francophone communities in NYC, focusing on accents, expressions, identity, and the small differences that make each community unique.

What started as a one-month content series quickly became a format I decided to turn into a recurring project.

  • Short-form interview format designed for Instagram Reels and social platforms.
  • Francophone community storytelling across different cultural backgrounds.
  • Authentic conversations about accents, expressions, identity, and belonging.
  • A repeatable format that opened the door to future collaborations.
