Iskra is the founder of Saltair and Self Funding. She's dedicated her career to empowering women. Her candid discussions online and TEDx talk disrupt societal norms and inspire millions, landing her places on Forbes 30 Under 30, and BBC World’s 100 Most Influential Women.
Dubbed “The John Hughes for the YouTube Generation” by The Washington Post, Elle is one of the most buzzed about content creators on YouTube. She is a true storyteller, creating short films on YouTube that speak to the awkward and hilarious coming-of-age experience in today’s society (her first kiss and her coming out videos have over 6 million combined views). But now, Elle is writing/directing and sharing her passion for storytelling in the traditional filmmaking space. She's just released her directorial debut short film REPLY -- that's been acquired by Creator+ and won the Festival Honour Award at Buffer Festival.
