Stories

Life-stories are not just narratives; they are beacons of inspiration that illuminate the shared human experience. Each of us carries the weigh of emotional and mental health challenges, and it’s through sharing these stories that we find a profound sense of interconnectedness.

Empowerment through shared experiences

At Living Expressions, I believe in the transformative power of storytelling. In 2025, I extend an invitation to you: share your journey on this platform and become a catalyst for empowerment – both for yourself and for others. Your story is a gift of perspective, a lesson in empathy, and a bridge to understanding.

A personal connection

Inspired by own vulnerabilities depicted in my short film, SAY MY NAME based on my book Sleeping Under the Bridge, I stand with you and my amazing cast & crew. These works are a tribute to the resilience of those who have faced abuse and trauma. They are a commitment to honour our collective stories of survival and strength.

Art

Art is an expression of our internal selves. It captures the essence of a moment in time, an event, a story that illustrates you, an emotion, or a feeling. Through art, we connect with our deepest selves and share our unique perspectives with the world.

Photography

Photography is an expression of a moment captured in time. From the epic to the miniscule, every moment is precious. The uniqueness of what an image brings stands alone as its own triumph.

Poetry

Poetry is an expression of connectedness. Each word envelops a sense of self and narrative, capturing raw emotions and ideas that the author wishes to convey. Through poetry, we connect with our innermost thoughts and share our unique perspectives with the world.

Written

Here, we share stories of resilience and triumph. 

A woman in her early 30s faced emotional, mental, and physical health challenges one after the other. A couple in their 60s lost their youngest son suddenly. A 32-year-old man lost his partner to suicide. A woman in her 40s lost everything. They overcame, prevailed and conquered.

Audio and Film

Audio: Reaching into the heart of the person is revealed through their inner narrative. Capturing a moment for them from speaking on a particular topic.

Film: Film is an expression of visual storytelling. It brings to life the emotions, experiences, and stories that connect us all. Through moving images and sound, film captures the essence of human experience and transports us to different worlds.
