    It was my absolute pleasure to edit this video for Women’s Community Shelters, celebrating the launch of their newest shelter project. 💫

    Curating the voices, stories, and spirit of everyone involved was a deeply moving experience. Each frame is a testament to the compassion, collaboration, and sheer determination that fuels this work.

    Every single person who contributed—whether through time, resources, or heart—has helped change the lives of over 100 people every single night. That’s not just impact. That’s transformation.

    I’m so proud to have played a small part in sharing this story. 💕
