Azza Cohen, a documentary filmmaker fresh from earning her MFA, embarked on a remarkable journey as the first official videographer for Vice President Kamala Harris in 2022. With little time to acclimate, she immediately faced the challenges of her new role. On her first day, Cohen filmed a crucial roundtable event with disability rights activists, highlighting the significance of representation. The experience underscored Cohen's belief in inclusive spaces, as she reflected on the unfamiliarity of the attendees in such a setting.
Cohen, reflecting on her role, stated, "I remember looking around the room and thinking, this group would never have been invited here before."
