Meet Valerie: ©Amy Boyle Photography 2020 In her own words- “For many years, I worked as a school social worker on the south side of Chicago. The job wasn’t easy, but I worked with so many amazing students and I absolutely loved it. However, I quickly saw that there were so many factors outside of school that impeded my students’ ability to succeed in school. I saw far too many students struggling with challenges that no child should ever have to endure such as homelessness

Meet Teddie: In her own words: “I tested positive for BRCA2, a breast cancer gene, then my doctor found a small tumor in my Fallopian tube, hiding quietly. I suddenly felt I was on a speeding train running off the tracks heading directly towards complete disaster. ©Amy Boyle Photography 2020 This was instantly my life’s test, when you’re required to get all your strength together and move forward with courage. This was in my mind logically, brewing, however wishing to remain

Meet Sarah: In her own words: ©Amy Boyle Photography 2020 “As a girl, I felt the ways I didn’t fit in more than recognizing my value. I was adopted: Korean – mixed with a blend of unknown ethnicities. This excluded me from my birth country and made me stand out in my new country where I just wanted to fit in. I felt that I existed on a plane parallel to my life while navigating the trodden path laid down for me. While I saw the beautifully manicured trail that made sense to m

Meet KJ: ©Amy Boyle Photography 2020 In her own words – “Necesita saber a caer para luego poder a volar. You have to learn to fall to later be able to fly- a line from a song I learned as an exchange student in Costa Rica has stuck in my mind for the past 32 years. I sing it all the time thinking, what I am doing today to take flight? This is after decades of watching others get on the plane while I stood on stand-by wishing for an amazing life. I perceived myself as less t

“You’ll want to stay home anyway and we have to let go of one person”. Meet Cara: In her own words – ©Amy Boyle Photography 2020 “That is what my former employer told me, while I was pregnant. I was shocked & devastated. All my life, I dreamed of having a family, but I was also fully committed to my work. Getting laid off while pregnant, took a decision away from me. Yet, I craved having a purpose, interaction with other adults. I wanted to have impact on something outside my

Meet Jenni: In her own words – ©Amy Boyle Photography 2020 “I’m terrible at drawing dogs. It’s a silly thing to be embarrassed about, but for decades, my bad dogs made my childhood dream of becoming an artist feel unattainable. Instead, I focused on becoming a writer, a flexible medium in which I could play. Today, with more than 30 years of professional writing experience, I’m humbled by the gifts writing has given me, including: – The power to inform and educate others – Th

Meet Annie – In her own words… “She believed she could so she did” is a mantra that really has become the theme to my life. ©Amy Boyle Photography 2019 My teenage years were nothing short of a tornado. A low self-esteem, attention seeking, mean girl defined much of who I was and was a catalyst for many of the choices that I made. I felt that titles mattered; “popular”, “pretty”, “athlete”, “flirt”, “adored”. I spent so much time trying to mold myself to fit those titles that
