The Faces of Spesh: A Community Taking Shape
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.
