Partner: Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California
VoiceBox: My Body My Voice is the inaugural iteration of VoiceBox, a traveling storytelling installation that gathers personal narratives to drive cultural and political change. Developed in collaboration with Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, this project became a cornerstone of the state’s successful 2022 Prop 1 campaign to enshrine the right to abortion access in the California Constitution.
Launched in the wake of Roe v. Wade’s repeal, VoiceBox toured statewide - appearing at rallies, clinics, campuses, and public events - to collect over 300 powerful firsthand stories about reproductive freedom, bodily autonomy, and abortion access. Participants stepped inside a private, tech-enabled booth to record their testimonies in a safe, anonymous environment. These stories have built a powerful archive and have been used in public campaigns, storytelling, and community events.
The tour culminated in a public activation at the California State Capitol in Sacramento, presented by documentary filmmaker and First Partner Jennifer Siebel-Newsom, alongside key speakers and live storytelling.

VoiceBox: If I Were A Teacher is a traveling storytelling installation designed to uplift the stories of educators and students across California, while inspiring a new generation to consider teaching as a powerful and transformative career path.
This edition of VoiceBox was developed in partnership with Reach University and the James Irvine Foundation as part of their 2024 Leadership Awards campaign. It launched with a special activation featuring awardee Hector Camacho, an educator and advocate for diversifying the teaching pipeline in California. The project visited schools in San Mateo County, offering students, parents, teachers, and administrators a space to reflect on the vital role educators play in their lives and communities.
Participants were invited to answer a single, important question: “If you were a teacher, what would you do differently?” Their answers were heartfelt, insightful, and deeply personal, resulting in a growing archive of stories that highlight the challenges and potential futures within our education system.

2024 | Documentary / Storytelling
Place Where I Belong is a short documentary that tells the story of Wakara Scott, a Cultural Development Specialist at Two Feathers Native American Family Services and a former foster youth. Directed by Christopher Nataanii Cegielski and created in partnership with the California Tribal Families Coalition, the film explores Wakara’s journey of healing, identity, and community, while highlighting the importance of the continued protection of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) - a 1978 federal law designed to prevent the forced removal of Native children from their families and communities, a practice that has long contributed to cultural erasure and intergenerational trauma.
Released in June 2024, the film marked the anniversary of the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in Haaland v. Brackeen, which upheld ICWA’s constitutionality.
About the Director: Christopher Nataanii Cegielski is a Los Angeles-based director and writer from the Navajo Nation. His work has been featured at Berlinale, SXSW, imagineNATIVE, and Sundance’s Native Lab. Known for blending narrative and documentary forms, Cegielski brings a deep personal lens to Indigenous storytelling and youth-centered themes.
