The Faces of Spesh started as a simple photoshoot idea and has grown into something much bigger — a community-centered event built on inclusion, representation, and belonging. As we move toward Spesh’s first birthday on June 13, I’m sharing how this project evolved, what it’s becoming, and the people bringing it to life. You can also follow the journey through the So Very Spesh podcast, where Episodes 1–3 are linked in the post.

A raw and honest look behind Spesh—where polished branding meets unfinished farmhouse projects, cold brew, sleepless nights, and big dreams. This post shares the reality of building an inclusive community while raising 3 young kids, surviving hard seasons, and believing deeply that disabled individuals deserve belonging exactly as they are.

A look behind the scenes at what truly goes into planning an inclusive event -- from visual supports and sensory-friendly spaces to intentional activities, volunteers, and supporting disability-inclusive businesses.
