Tiffany Westry Womack is a former multimedia journalist and creative director currently living in Hendersonville, North Carolina. She is a native of Mobile, Alabama. Her passion for storytelling through video intersects with the areas of Black history, environmentalism, outdoor recreation, and environmental justice. Her first experience in documentary filmmaking began in 2012 while working as a television news journalist in Birmingham, Alabama where she was an associate producer on the award-winning, 2-part documentary “Deadly Deception.” The investigative reports uncovered details of toxic air, water, and soil contamination at schools and homes in the North Birmingham area caused by surrounding coal, gas, and pipe fabrication industries. The investigation prompted the EPA to expand testing and eventually establish a Superfund Site. In 2022 she was selected as a Southern Exposure Film Fellow and spent 6-weeks in Alabama working on an environmental advocacy documentary called, “What about the Drinking Water?” The film highlights the important responsibility of water utilities in balancing their need for revenue with the long-range protection of drinking water sources and the role of river advocates and ratepayers in holding them accountable. The film was awarded Best Call to Action at the 2023 World Water Film Festival. She was recently selected as the 2023 JC Woodley Environment Justice & Storytelling Fellow at the Dogwood Alliance where she learned about the impact of the biomass industry on rural communities throughout the Southeast. 

Tiffany believes that by reconnecting people to nature through outdoor recreation, history, and storytelling, we create a more accessible entry point to environmental stewardship for the next generation.
