I started Sailboat Writing as a blog. The goal was to share texts, photography and film, because, well, I wanted to find a way to make money doing stuff I like. But then, time and good company allowed me the chance to do something else with that blog of mine.

Working as a tutor and after-school classes teacher obligates me to transition in between wildly different subjects, from filmmaking to the history of science. Underneath all these classes there is a common goal: teaching ways of celebrating, registering and bearing witness to human plurality. 

I was lucky to have parents and teachers and friends who helped me cultivate a love for humans, with their complexities, contradictions and wild contrasts. That love requires tools: Critical thinking, media literacy and curiosity. Not many people in the US and elsewhere have the luck that allowed me to harvest these skills.

This whole thing is my attempt - through texts, courses and videos - to be part of someone else’s luck, making them more sensitive to the world around them, more able to share their own observations and more excited to keep learning. Forever.
