The Freedom Story | OD the Wordsmith | Spoken Word
"The Freedom Story was born from a documentary film called The SOLD Project. When our founder Rachel Sparks learned about child sexual exploitation in Thailand, she decided to expose it through the power of film. After interviewing dozens of sex workers, common themes became apparent: poverty, a lack of education, and a lack of options. Rachel responded by providing a scholarship to an at-risk student, and The Freedom Story was born.

A Conclusion of Disillusion: Perception is Not Reality
Have you ever gotten one of those art kits for Christmas or your birthday? The ones which consisted of markers, color pencils, water colors, oil pastels, etc.? Each utensil was different, not only in color, but in shape, consistency and size. Yet, each one was created for a specific purpose and when used together, could create a beautiful work of art. When I was little, these were one of my favorite gifts to receive. Now that I am older, when I look at the world and all the people in it I perceive each person as reflecting one of those art utensils in the grand masterpiece of life.
