The BE Project – In a world where you can be anything…. What will you be?

Meet Jessica – her word for the 2023 BE Project is Resilient

What word did you choose and why?

Resilient

I chose this word because even though I had a really amazing life growing up, life happened with my parents and their relationship and I got mad as a child and young adult.  My fathers death affected me greatly and I wonder some days if I’ll ever get over it.  I’ve overcome bad relationships and drug addiction.  I am resilient and find my way back.  My daughter saved me for sure.  

Even in a work environment, I’ve climbed and been knocked down – but I always rise above.  I’m proud of how determined I am. I feel like with everything I’ve been thru, I’m here.

 

What is The BE Project?

Have you ever stopped to think about who or what you want to be?  Most often there is a word that drives you.  If you sit in the silence and really think about what type of person you want to be… there will be a word, sometimes more than one word, that will guide you along and push you to keep being a better version of yourself.  This photo project has become something that has touched my heart and hopefully those that have participated. I chose to shoot all of the images in black and white because I wanted the least amount of distractions.  Just the human and the word.   This project is the stories of some amazing people, their stories, and what these words mean to them.  Some have participated each of the 4 years we have done this, some are new each time.  It’s an amazing honor to follow along in their journey and document who they are becoming.

Want to read more stories from others in our community and their BE words?  Head over to the BE Project Page and read the stories of the amazing humans that have participated. 

I challenge you to find a word that resonates with you.  Who do you want to strive to be?  What word leads you day to day?  Join us in our project – what word will describe who you want to BE?
