About me

Paige Censale is a 24-year-old storyteller born in El Paso, Texas, and raised in Blaine, Washington. She returned to El Paso when headlines read “children in cages” and “family separation.” For nearly two years, she worked as a videographer, graphic designer, and photographer for an immigration non-profit where she documented the stories of attorneys, advocates, and asylum seekers from around the world. In 2021, she received a U.S. State Department fellowship to capture stories of migration from a European perspective.

Before heading overseas, her father suddenly passed and Paige memorialized his life in a documentary that premiered at the El Paso Film Festival. Two years later in 2023, she was accepted to Brown University and her 59-year-old mother was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer’s. Currently, as a rising senior, Paige focuses her attention on elevating young caregivers and advocating for a healthcare system that cares. She serves as a Youth Ambassador for NextGen, the global advocacy arm of Lorenzo’s House, a nonprofit supporting young caregivers of parents with dementia, and participates in podcast and panel discussions. In April 2026, she spoke at the Alzheimer’s Disease International conference in Lyon, France.

Paige’s documentaries have screened at various film festivals, including Brown Media Group, and her writing has appeared in The Seattle Times; she has also been profiled on the Brown University website. Paige is currently the Communications Coordinator for the Haitian immigration nonprofit, Haitian Bridge Alliance and is developing a new documentary centered on her experience as a young caregiver and the creation of NextGen, with an anticipated premiere in May 2027.
