Real Stories, Real Change.
Starts Here.
These aren’t stories for sympathy — they’re stories for change.
Stories with Purpose.
These stories come from real people I’ve had the privilege to meet — people who’ve opened up about their lives, their challenges, and what they’ve been through. Some are hard to hear, some are full of hope, and all of them matter.
You’ll notice a few names are missing or faces are hidden. That’s not by accident. Some of the people who’ve shared their stories have asked to stay anonymous — sometimes to protect themselves, sometimes to protect others. I’ve honoured that. But the heart of what they’ve shared is still here, unchanged. Honest. Brave. And deeply human.
Due to the nature of their content, some of these stories may be difficult to read. They touch on real pain, real injustice, and real resilience — so please take care as you read.
