What would you tell the younger version of yourself

This June, Lens of Hope invites LGBTQIA individuals to sit for a portrait and share a letter to their younger self. These sessions are a safe space for healing, reflection and celebration.

You don't need to be a writer or performer- just come as you are and be yourself.
 

Your story- and your voice- matter.

Letters to My Younger Queer Self revised.jpg

How It Works

  • You write a short letter to your younger queer self (prompts/guidance can be provided if needed!)

  • I'll photograph you in a way that honors your story, vulnerability, and strength. The session will be about a half hour and you'll receive 3-5 images. 

  • Your portrait and words become part of a growing online and (potential) print collection of hope.
