For no apparent reason at all today, I’m just going to remind everyone that Molly of DENALI had a special episode/movie made called “Molly and the Great One” that highlights a bit of history and a lot of adventure around #Denali. #mollyofdenali

After all these years, I’m still filled with disbelief and gratitude that I have the privilege of being part of such an incredible writing team. This marks our third Emmy nomination for best writing, and it truly warms my heart to share this moment with such talented and dedicated individuals.

When I tell you I love #MollyofDenali I’m saying I love all children & care deeply about how we, as Alaska Native Peoples are represented & how critical it is for us to share our stories. I’m heartbroken the show wasn’t renewed by PBS but I’m also asking all of us to call our Representatives now!

An adapted story of Fog Woman appears in one of the episodes of #mollyofdenali out this week, and boooyyyyy was I nervous about how it would look when all finished. But it turned out beautiful!

I called Nick Begich today to comment on this important loss. I asked the staffer on the phone if he had heard of the show and he said quote -
"I used to watch that as a kid"
HOW OLD ARE HIS STAFFERS?!?!?

So how do we write for an animated children’s program, anyways?
It was super fun nerding out on process, explaining the steps of episode writing for #MollyofDenali today at the Alaska Robotics Gallery Mini-Con with @xhunei.bsky.social and Waatsasdiyei Apayuk Yates.

Molly of Denali is non renewed after its current season. This looks to be due to funding cuts.

Gunalchéesh! That was so fun! We have had a couple of #mollyofdenali episodes focused on Filipino and Alaska Native cultures and the fun mix we have. And soooo many of the animators for the show are in the Philippines, so they went to town on the design!
