Christy Pipkin has produced network and syndicated television and film, and is the co-founder and executive director of The Nobelity Project, based in Austin, Texas. She works to bring the non-profit’s initiatives to fruition by creating motivating documentaries and short films, helming educational outreach in the U.S. and abroad and maintaining oversight on development projects around the world. She is a firm believer that local action has global impact, and that no act is too small to matter. At times global issues can seem overwhelming, but she likes to remember when Desmond Tutu told us of a saying in Africa -“There is only one way of eating an elephant…one piece at a time.”
