Founder and Director of See Stories Marie Acemah grew her organization from a “me” to a “we,” from a one-woman passion project to a team effort. She has invested her time in building capacity to ensure See Stories, which equips young Alaskans with media tools to tell their stories, has the structure, budget, and staff to grow beyond its founder. After a particularly challenging year of systematic barriers and funding cuts, Marie looks forward to spending time with her three sons at home and returning to Crete, where she lived in her early adulthood.
