Human.Hooper.Hero.
you’re not imagining it.
Human. Hooper. Hero. was created by Heather Cleaves, photographer, writer, and passionate humanitarian.
Why?
I believe that when human beings are seen, encouraged, and heard it gives them a sense of validation. And when you are validated for who you are, it gives you a sense of belonging. And when you truly belong to something, my deepest belief is that It gives you a reason to continue showing up. For those of us who are living with mental health challenges every day sometimes showing up is the hardest part. My hope with Human.Hooper.Hero is that for those who I get the honor of crossing paths and working with… showing up becomes a little easier and believing in themselves becomes something they look forward to waking up and doing.
