Supporters,
Welcome to the very first edition of The Lioness Film Newsletter.
What began as a celebration of my mother, Paula Fils-Aime Jules’, during my 55th birthday across four cities quickly became something much greater than any of us imagined.
As family and friends gathered in Miami, Richmond, Brooklyn, and Washington, D.C., stories were shared that reminded us of the incredible impact one woman can have on generations to come.
This story needs to be told, now more than ever.
Thank you for believing in this project's vision. More to come.

Five Generations.
One Legacy.
Every extraordinary legacy begins with someone courageous enough to build a foundation.
For our family, that journey spans five remarkable generations.
Jaccilia Fils-Aime is the foundation. Her strength, wisdom, and unwavering faith created the roots that would support generations to come.
Paula Fils-Aime Jules is The Lioness. Through perseverance, compassion, and quiet leadership, Paula transformed adversity into opportunity.
Maureen Jules-Perez continues as one of the branches of The Legacy. As daughter, storyteller, and executive, Maureen is ensuring this extraordinary journey reaches future generations through film.

Strength is not the absence of fear.

The ability to endure hardship, adapt through adversity, and emerge stronger than before.
Resilience is the heartbeat of The Lioness.
The greatest stories are rarely about fame.
They are about ordinary people who choose extraordinary courage every single day.
The Lioness is one of those many stories.
