Last night I met with one of our amazing models Shauna, to go over some of the shoot details and as the night progressed we found ourselves delving into some of the more serious issues plaguing our society and the world. I was reminded of the need to be aware of the world around us and that - "we're all in this together". Don't get me wrong, I love the beautiful, comforts the world has to offer... but we also live in a world filled with hurt and pain and I believe it's important that we are the generation that educates ourselves and has compassion for people in need. So here are a few issues close to my heart and people doing amazing things in our world - for those keen to expand their minds and hearts.
