We are looking to build a team of competent grant writers who are passionate about inspiring the broken hearted experiencing grief and trauma to process pain through creative journaling, artist-inspired.

In 2023, we are focusing on helping high school and college students develop peer-to-peer journaling groups and support systems that can help them 1. Process pain as a journal-artist through fictionalize creative journaling, resonate-editing, and open-mic / spoken word performances, 2. Reframe the negative narratives, 3.  Discern their true passion, pursuit, and purpose by shadow integration through journal-artism, which fuses journaling, journalism, with the personal journey.
