We're highlighting people who are living in, or who are originally from, New Mexico.
We care more about the person than the problem, and we want to highlight the triumph, not the trauma.
We're casting a wide net - some have shared stories about their family, relationships, job, or their personal struggles with mental health, addiction, or simply finding their place in life.
We're not looking to exploit, shame or embarras anyone, and we won't use their story without their full partnership or permission.
