Documentaries that have stuck with me
These range from appreciation to activism. Educational yet thrilling to watch if you want to dive deeper into ocean conservation. I love the reminders of why we must keep fighting.
Rewatched twice, got me excited about learning to freedive!
The Deepest Breath (2023) ⭐ 7.7 | Documentary, Adventure, Sport
Can be a tough watch but so important for whales and dolphins still being hunted
The Cove (2009)
While they still missed a good chunk of info, everyone should watch this doc. It lights me up in different ways.
SEASPIRACY DOCUMENTARY
10/10 I wish more had seen this. I used to table for a shark conservation org and the hate against sharks has to be changed. We need them, they need us.
Shark Whisperer (2025) ⭐ 6.9 | Documentary
This one’s so important! I’m so for a re-watch. Amazing production as well.
Chasing Coral (2017) ⭐ 8.0 | Documentary

I said what I said 😂 bring me back that childhood magic of the ocean
Aquamarine (2006) ⭐ 5.4 | Comedy, Family, Fantasy
While I’m not a surfer, I still love this movie. It’s that same connection and pull to the ocean I love.

Drew Barrymore?? John Kravinski?? I love the whale aspect of course but who doesn’t love a silly movie

This show has a bit of adventure, thrill, romance, and drama. It keeps me glued to the screen and with the ocean element it adds more curiosity on my end
Rescue: HI-Surf
If you’ve never seen this show, you’re in for a ride. Drama, romance, humor…all around the great open ocean. I know men who say they like it for the “nautical aspects” but let’s me honest it’s also the drama. I also find it cool to watch them operate...

Music that connects me back to the tropics
My music really ranges but I go based off mood. When I miss summer, warmth, and need to mix things up I turn to these.
I love my slower soulful afrobeats and this girl does it everytime! I love to get a mix going when I clean
Soulful Afrobeat R&B Playlist Vol.2 | Tyla, Tems, Ayra, Chris Brown, Omah, 2024 Mix by DJ Hello Vee
A special shoutout to my girl Mahalia. I guess you could consider me an OG fan and I’m excited to see her dive more into her Jamaican roots in her music.
Mahalia - Pity (feat. Tanya Stephens)
The first song I ever heard of her I was like “who is this angelic women??” Her voice is amazing. The beats to her songs are always magic to my ears as well. Rip tiny desk.
