Hello, friends! ❤️
Something pretty incredible is happening, and I want to take a moment to share just how far we've come.
When I started Unseen & Unspoken: A Journey Through the Shadows, I knew what I wanted to accomplish. What I didn't know was how many people, businesses and organizations would begin believing in that vision alongside me.
From LaSalle Auto Centre, Union Overland, Flat 4 Offroad and OM System to individuals who have contributed $300 through our GoFundMe and several hundred more through e-transfers, we're building something meaningful together.
These aren't just names or logos. These are real people and established businesses choosing to stand behind a project dedicated to mental health advocacy, human connection and storytelling.
And that means more to me than I can adequately express.
So, where do we go from here?
We've adjusted our journey into three phases.
Phase One: Sarnia-Lambton and Ontario | Now through Summer 2027
We'll be focusing on our own communities, connecting with schools, libraries, non-profits, community organizations and individuals. Through speaking engagements, presentations, photography, creative workshops and honest conversations, we want to create opportunities for people to feel seen, heard and understood.
Phase Two: Atlantic Canada | Fall 2027
We'll take this journey east, travelling throughout Atlantic Canada, including a very special homecoming to Newfoundland. More communities, more conversations and more stories that deserve to be heard.
Phase Three: Across Canada | 2028
Our hope is to travel west and back, or, with sufficient support, undertake a coast-to-coast journey from Cape Spear, Newfoundland, to Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
But here's what I really want people to understand.
This project isn't about travelling across Canada in a Subaru with a rooftop tent. That's simply how we're getting there.
It's about the people we meet along the way.
It's about sitting across from someone who has experienced trauma, addiction, grief, depression or unimaginable hardship, and giving them the space to share their story, on their own terms.
It's about listening without judgment. Capturing experiences with compassion. Amplifying voices that too often go unheard.
And it's about exploring how photography, nature, creativity and human connection can play meaningful roles in healing and recovery.
We're already having conversations with some incredible non-profit organizations, businesses and corporations about how we can work together. Every conversation, contribution and partnership helps move this vision forward.
I also recognize that this work isn't for the faint of heart.
Sharing my own experiences means revisiting some incredibly difficult chapters of my life. Listening to others means being trusted with stories that carry tremendous pain, courage and vulnerability.
That's a responsibility I don't take lightly.
But I believe, wholeheartedly, that these conversations matter.
If even one person feels less alone because of a story we share, one conversation we start or one connection we help create, then this journey has already accomplished something extraordinary.
To everyone who has supported us, believed in us, shared our message or simply reached out with encouragement, thank you.
And to the individuals, organizations and businesses considering becoming involved, there's room for you in this journey, too. Whether through sharing your story, hosting an event, collaborating or helping support the road ahead, I'd love to connect.
We're not simply building a project. We're building a community.
Connect. Capture. Community.
Never. Give. Up. ❤️
