What started as a conversation with @fallonfarinacci over 4 years ago, grew into something better than I could have imagined. Now, @jennaharveyco and I are exploring where to take it next. Endlessly grateful for the support of this community. Thankful to also have had both of these powerhouses as storytellers.

And if you’re admiring the decor behind us, all credit goes to @kwfamous whose beautiful space made for the perfect vibe for this event.

[Image description: Picture of Fallon, Patra, and Jenna all standing and smiling. Fallon is wearing a brown and white checkered dress, Patra is wearing a pink and orange floral dress, Jenna is wearing a light green top with dark bottoms.]

The craftiest, coolest and best photographer was in the house. @justynasokolowski makes magic through her lens and the most fun journal I think I’ve ever seen. So grateful to have her capture some of the moments and people at Open Book.

[Image description: A collage of things that say “Two Feet Apart” and “KWFamous” along with book and community themed stickers].

The one and only (and most supportive friend) @neighbourbecci. She doesn’t love praise, so I won’t say more. But, you should give her a follow if you haven’t already.

[Image description: Patra and Becci standing and smiling but looking at a camera to the left. Patra is in the aforementioned outfit and Becci is in an open denim jacket/top with a black top under it.]

@ruchika_khati did her thing!!! I wanted something more than a swag bag for this style of event so she swooped in with incredible watercolour portraits for attendees to take home.

[Image description: A watercolour portrait of two people in the midst of being painted].

One of the amazing storytellers @muntu_o with the best snack sponsor @snackhumble. We had guests enjoying the Humble chips throughout all of the different components of the event.

[Image description: Brian sitting and looking down at an open bag of Humble chips. He’s in a white t-shirt.]

I wanted guests to experience the chapters of Open Book in a small group setting so that curiosity could be explored and assumptions could be challenged. Here is another impactful storyteller, @nbisiing taken in KWFamous by @peachypatra
