With the firm belief that positivity and self-image belongs with every individual, the True Reflections team believes

self-acceptance is an ever-growing conflict within the world and people. 

The goal of True Reflections is to reveal a positive self-image and sense of acceptance of one’s self and other; our target is to bring these issues to the forefront of the community and eventually, the world. 

True Reflections is an all ages project that will showcase people’s experiences and life in a positive and individualistic manner. 

All proceeds of the project will go towards organizations, initiatives and events who promote a similar message as ours.

Our main attractions throughout the project are a complete package – each part revealing one of the three 'selves' with which an individual is faced. The first includes a photo shoot focused on how others see an individual compared to how the individual wishes to be seen. As a mix between Humans of New York and Project Unbreakable, the plan is to bring hope and acceptance where there is none.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Participants may submit photos and videos or have their photos taken of themselves with a description of what they think makes them different from others. With the photo, they are asked to write why they are proud of this character trait and what they want others to see. 

Participants are also welcome to share their stories in written format - just please watch for vulgar words as this is for all ages.

The third attraction will be a large collaborative art project, emphasizing who an individual really is. Art submissions from artists and schools that portray an aspect of mental health or self-acceptance will also be shown on this page. 

The goal of this project is to get self-portraits or drawings of someone else they have met. This way, participants can see how others view them and possibly learn something new about themselves. Accompanied with the drawings, we ask that something positive be written about their self-portrait and the person they drew.

We are also organizing events to help spread the word – with public access to these activities, which will all be shared on this group.

You are not alone, you are enough.
