“We were 7 Billion Ones. Now, we are 8 Billion Ones. So what happened? As we all know now, our planetary population recently hit 8 BILLION people. And, as we continue to expand globally - our mission, our movement, and our passion for humanity also continues to expand. We know how beautiful it is to spelunk the depths of the heart and soul through the power of storytelling and human connection. It is our calling to do this work. The work of sharing the written stories of as many “ONES” as possible in tandem with the striking portrait photography, motion portraits, and conversation videos, all in name of shining a light on our most vulnerable pieces, and courageously sharing the experiences that make us both uniquely singular and help us to find the common ground with one another and within our own lives.”
