Flavia Borges
An Afro-Brazilian-American storyteller based in the US for over two decades, Flavia kickstarted her voyage in development of TV and FILM at MFF & Co, a leading Latin America production company committed to social impact entertainment. An innovator first, she co-created a methodology designed in partnership with distributer Flow Impact and professionals across various cultures and ethnicities to help dismantle narrative tropes and stereotypes at various points of the development and production phases. The result is the creation of powerful, humanized, and inclusive stories.
She wrote the four-episode docuseries “Sound of The River” (YouTube Originals), created by and starring Latin Grammy nominee Maria Gadú. She is also the trailblazing writer and co-creator of MENACE, a 2018 Webby Awards Honoree and the first feminist web series made for Instagram.
In 2021 she founded Return & Retreat, a unique wellness gathering for Black women centered around water. The retreat took place in Chicago (2021) and Salvador, Brazil (2023), offering a luxurious opportunity for Black women to practice self-healing while engaging two abundant resources. Water and mindfulness. An experience that much like a single drop of water, causes a ripple effect.
