In today’s episode, 9 sat down with the incredible Keertana — a talented writer, artist, filmmaker, and English teacher. Keertana’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. At just 15 years old, she found herself attending the Toronto Film Festival, navigating a world typically reserved for much older creators — even entering the event registered as a 35-year-old white man!

Beyond filmmaking, Keertana also runs her own magazine, showcasing her creative voice and leadership. Despite facing challenges such as memory loss, her resilience and brilliance continue to shine through every project she touches.

Keertana is truly a bright young star with a future full of possibilities.

I pray that her story inspires you as deeply as it inspired me.
