Last week, photographer Ilene Perlman captured portraits of individuals and families in our shelters and permanent supportive apartments. For many, it was their first professional photo, making it a deeply meaningful experience. The portraits captured will also help us tell the stories of resilience...

On May 14th, Boston Spirit Magazine hosted their annual LGBT Professional Networking Night, and it was truly inspiring to visually capture the energy of the event. The evening kicked off with a powerful address from Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell setting the tone for an unforgettable night.

In response to the recent surge of anti-LGBT legislation and Executive Orders, Boston Spirit brought together a panel of national LGBT leaders to share their efforts in the fight for equality and LGBT rights. Their insights aimed to inspire hope, while energizing and motivating us all as we continue standing up for justice and what is right.

Included in the panel photos are left to right

Excited to see my photo of Peter and Stan featured on the cover of Seven Days Newspaper out of Burlington, VT. Can’t believe it’s been 25 years! What a day it was photographing and sharing this historic event with good friends. Over 25 years ago, Peter Harrigan and his now-husband Stan Baker were one of the three plaintiff couples in Vermont’s Freedom to Marry lawsuit. The Vermont Supreme Court issued a landmark decision in Baker v. State in 1999, which led to Vermont’s Civil Union law the following year.

I have been honored to work for photographing their many programs throughout the state. All the images from this 18th annual Women Helping Women event as well as all the large panels of photos throughout the space are my photos. Like my own personal portfolio! Images really do help to tell important stories about people's lives and challenges they face. Crossroads is there to help.
This annual event brought together more than 500 committed women in support of Crossroads' Women's Shelter, Domestic Violence Program, and other essential programs for women experiencing homelessness across Rhode Island. It was a powerful night at the in Providence. This is organization is the real deal!

Happy international Coffee Day. This year's campaign is "Coffee, Your Daily Ritual, Our Shared Journey", which honours collaboration within the sector, promoting sustainable practices while supporting livelihoods among coffee farmers worldwide.

I honor the amazing Rob Fiedler who left us far too soon. He started Africana Trader and brought me to Rwanda to help visually tell the story of where our coffee comes from. He was a fearless advocate for improving the lives of the coffee farmers. An amazing friend, husband , and father.
