Randy Bacon, Founder of the international story movement 7 Billion Ones
In this episode, Tom Herzog, chief operating officer at Netsmart, talks with Gabrielle Martin and Randy Bacon about the work they’ve done to launch The Art of Being Me campaign that connects everyday life to the challenges that we all have. The Art of Being Me exhibit consists of photos and videos of people telling their personal stories and struggles with mental health.
Listen as Herzog asks both Gabrielle and Randy about how their partnership came together and how they created such an impactful exhibit that have touched many lives. This initiative is different than most other mental health programs because people are truly seeing works of art. The people who are brave enough to share their stories, show true vulnerability and inspire others to listen and share as well. We all have mental health and this campaign is one step towards creating compassionate communities everywhere.
