Hi friends! I'm Emily, a trauma survivor and portrait recipient! The Aplomb Project has been an invaluable part of my journey towards reconciling with my trauma history. Having a community of people who see you, hear you, and understand what you've been through is so vital. Often times we deal with our traumas alone, having no idea that so many people around us have had similar experiences. Aplomb gives us the opportunity to share safely and engage with the incredible healing art can have for the spirit. Thank you so much for everyone who donates to keep this project going!
