Capture Humanity

Thanks so much to everyone who came out to the Social Documentary and Zeke Magazine event at the Leica Gallery Boston yesterday! The panel discussion was really meaningful, and we had some great, thoughtful questions from the crowd. It was an amazing chance to explore the importance of social documentary work. Plus, it was so exciting to celebrate the 20th issue of Zeke Magazine with all of you. What a fantastic night!

I'm excited to share that
“Woman Rising," a documentary that sheds light on the stark realities of s*x and human trafficking in America alongside the incredible resilience and hope of survivors, has been officially selected for the Social Impact Film and Art Festival - SIFA Festival Awards in Boston on April 5th. This film's inclusion in the festival lineup is a powerful endorsement of its narrative that deeply inspires change and action through storytelling.

What an incredible opportunity for "Woman Rising" to engage a wider audience, sparking essential discussions on human rights, women's empowerment, and the significant impact of community support in overcoming tremendous challenges.

This past week has been a whirlwind of emotions, reminding me of the incredible power and beauty that our Earth holds. Through this week’s ups and downs, I’ve been fortunate to find solace in the company of my Limb Kind Foundation family, including conversations that have reignited my appreciation for the world around us.

Talking to friends like Roderick Sewell Jackson we’ve shared thoughts on the wonder of the Earth and its ability to surprise and amaze us. One such place the Dead Vlei in Namibia's Namib-Naukluft National Park, a place that truly epitomizes the unexpected beauty of our planet. Standing in its ancient clay pan, surrounded by the towering orange dunes and stark, skeletal trees, I experienced a sense of vibration and calm unlike anything I've ever felt before. It was a poignant reminder of the Earth's timeless beauty and the serenity it can offer.

The past week, emotional as it was, has deepened my connection to our planet and the community of people who share this appreciation. I'm grateful for the good company and the shared moments of awe that remind us of the Earth's incredible power and beauty.
