The Courage of Not Looking Away with Chezik Tsunoda

Suzanne talks with Filmmaker Chezik Tsunoda, about the courageous path she’s taken as an impassioned water safety advocate after her 3-year-old son Yori’s tragic drowning. Chezik shares her thoughts on pushing through challenges, and invites us to think about what we’re looking away from and the power of redirecting our gaze.

Chezik Tsunoda is an impassioned water safety advocate and founder of No More Under, a nonprofit dedicated to saving lives through increasing equitable access to swimming lessons and tools. She also directed Drowning in Silence, a documentary that chronicles her quest for answers and healing. Along with her water safety work, Tsunoda heads Visually Inspired Productions, which creates social impact films that help shift the narratives of systematically excluded communities.
