CEO's Message
Ten years ago, I found myself in the packed stadium of a Women's World Cup soccer match at the dawn of a new age of women's sports in which- for the first time in the history of women's soccer- there was a very real chance for meaningful change. It was at that moment I began my work as an ethnographer traveling the world and researching international women's sports.
Meaningful change takes more than singular moments however; it takes sustained momentum built through constant work and dedicated communities focused on keeping progress moving. After a decade of dedicating my life to promoting the growth of women's sports around the world, I learned about the importance of building a force that could outlast my own personal goals. That's why I started Anthro International- an educational media company devoted to preserving and promoting the field of anthropology to a global audience.
Now my goal is to hep advance the field of anthropology by funding explorers across the globe to promote and preserve world history, wildlife, languages, and cultures for future generations- never more important than in today's age of fragile digital media, mass misinformation, and a growing anti-democracy world where the truth is hard to find, third spaces are disappearing, and war and conflict spread across the globe.

Highlight: St. Columbo Center for Endangered Digital Information
Digital information is fragile because it lives on platforms, servers, and policies that can vanish overnight. Defunct YouTube channels, deleted archives, or government websites rewritten to match shifting political ideology can disappear with a click, leaving no trace. Books and stone endure because they are decentralized, physical, and hard to erase at scale. In the digital age, preservation matters: redundant archives, open formats, and independent stewardship protect memory, accountability, and truth from the quiet erosion of convenience and power across generations, cultures, histories, and futures.
That's why we started an online repository for digital information including educational documentaries and cultural entertainment collected from defunct YouTube channels, expired domains, and US government archives which risk permanent removal due to changes in government ideologies, the loss of monetary value, or AI censorship software.
These articles and videos showcase the human experience from world history and our relationship with nature to world languages and cultures whose stories speak to the human experience- both familiar and strange.

Commitment to Bringing the World to the Classroom
This year we began a program to educate elementary school students in world cultures with a focus on using hands-on activities, reading books, and playing interactive games as a way to teach children about the world's cultures in an after school program reaching over 200 students.
Throughout the months of October, November, and December; Anthro International educated elementary school students on the history, wildlife, languages, and cultures of China, the Vikings, Japan, India, Mexico, Alaska, Turkey, Ethiopia, Scotland, Malaysia, Botswana, and Germany.
Anthro International continues to explore new and innovative ways to bring the cultures of the world to the world's classrooms including developing a section of our website devoted to sharing kid-friendly, educational media to help parents and teachers learn more about how to educate their youth on world cultures.
