SOCALITY X VRSLY X SHE, IN THE MAKING

Recently, I had the opportunity to work with two amazing organizations at once: Socality & VRSLY. A fellow church-member, and one of the founders of Socality, Paul Tellefesen contacted me and asked if I would be interested in creating some hand-lettered pieces for Socality PDX to be featured on VRSLY. I was so excited to be able to contribute and wanted to commemorate this opportunity on my blog too. It was so cool because not only was I able to work with these awesome organizations, but I was also able to connect & collaborate in a different way with other artists & people all over the world. It was so neat looking at the #madewithvrsly  & #socalitypdx hashtags & seeing how people used my writing to share their stories with the world via Instagram. It has truly been such a gift to me to be able to use one of my gifts to help people connect with others & make this big world seem a little bit smaller. Below are some instagram posts I created and some of my favorites from my featured time on VRSLY.

For Day 1: The Movement Is Love

You guys!!! So today (and for the next couple of days) my lettering is featured on @vrsly in conjunction with @socality for #socalitypdx!!! Check out the hashtag #madewithVRSLY to see some of the creations people have made with my lettering and one of Socality's phrases! I am so excited to play a small part, to be featured by VRSLY, & for my beautiful friends and everyone there who is making awesome new connections, building community, and growing the movement of love.

Day 3: Your Story Matters

Today is my last feature for @socality on @vrsly for #socalitypdx! It has been soooooo coooool seeing everyone's posts and reading about what the words meant to them. I love these words because they are so important and so true. YOUR story MATTERS! Each of us are so unique and so different, but we have something in common. We've all been placed here for a specific reason and can make a special impact that can't be made by another. So never think that your story is too small or too big, or not right for some reason or another. Your story has a purpose. Your story matters. #madewithvrsly Picture credit goes to my favorite, @verilyvictoria 🌻
