I met this amazing kiddo when I taught her mama, Vanessa, yoga at Franklin High School two years ago. The Teen Parent Story Project, the photography project that I've been working on for the past few years, has allowed me to have the most wonderful experiences and to create relationships with remarkable people. Today was the best! I got to spend time with Vanessa and this baby girl, Melanie. Honestly, hanging out with them fed my soul. I love talking with Vanessa. She's so smart, sensitive, kind and such a good mom.

Friends, yesterday I felt depressed. I cried all of my make-up off. My therapist suggested anti-depressants. I cried 20 different times. Such a bad day. And today, spending time with Vanessa and Melanie, made me so happy. I feel so fortunate that I have this project and that I get to create relationships with such breathtaking people.

Thank you, Vanessa! You are brilliant!
