The Shine Event Part 1: Video of Bryan’s Speech

I hope everyone had a peaceful and memorable yesterday! Let us continue to work towards future progress, social Justice and equal opportunity for all.

I’m still feeling the love from the Shine Event at Liberation Coffee House in LA last Thursday. I can’t stress enough how grateful and how honored I am to have had the opportunity to be a part of this beautiful and necessary project. Thanks again Bryan! You are one incredible human being! 😊

The Shine Project Emerge from Domestic Violence
Portraits of Triumph over Domestic Violence in the LGBTQ+ Community
In collaboration with Los Angeles LGBT Center & College for Creative Studies Detroit

The Shine Project features a series of portraits showcasing triumph over domestic violence in the LGTBQ community. The photographs focus on showcasing the beauty of the soul that shines within all of us, rather than the darkness that the perpetrator used to dim that light with abuse. The images are powerful, strong and luminous. The stories of recovery, strength and love are inspiring.
