Welcome to Project Speak Up!

I personally thank you for stopping by to visit and see what we have been up to and what we will be working on for who knows how long! ;) I am proud to team up with photographer (and friend) Alice Keeney in making this "labor of love" a reality, while shedding light on issues centered around personal and cultural identity while promoting tolerance. This project is something that has taken some time to get started and will always be a "work-in-progress," but we have great aspirations and are looking forward to the experiences, awakenings and growth this project is sure to bring. Though it has officially been a year in the making for me personally (though a lifetime, in actuality), tonight's blog post marks the beginning of the public documentation for our "little" project. Again, our project is in constant development and our current goals are to capture and be inspired by what we have the opportunity to be subjected to at any given moment. Our respective creative outlets will give our inspirations, thoughts, ideas and truths the forum they need and we hope that that you will join us on our journey. Alice will be on her way to Africa next week working on several projects....let the "speaking up" begin!!

Paz,
Leah
