We’ve been working on our publication and platform for almost a decade because we deeply believe that the world will be a far more empathetic and collaborative place if we all had the ability to know each other’s stories. The past decade has brought unimaginable challenges along the way, but we persevere because we believe this is mission worth never giving up on. We often are inspired by the folks we’ve featured and their commitment to their respective missions and so we asked some of them to talk to us about this very topic and have share some responses below.

My feature length script. I don’t want to give too much away but it’s a family drama set at a family camp in the Adirondacks. It deals with grief, legacy, and what it actually means to learn how to live. It’s deeply personal to me. Read more>>

I’m deeply committed to staying true to my own musical voice, no matter how long it takes or how unconventional the path might be. I’ve never been drawn to mainstream commercial sounds like pop or reggaeton. instead, my work lives in the intersections of classical music, tango, straight and Latin jazz, orchestral textures, electronics, and various Latin American rhythms.

I am deeply committed to helping people free themselves from the toxic effects of Diet Culture, no matter how long it takes.

I’m deeply committed to the belief that patients deserve to be seen, heard, and included as partners in their care and in the systems that shape healthcare policy. Real change doesn’t happen overnight, especially when you’re working in rare disease spaces where awareness is limited and progress can feel slow. Read more>>
