Before The Reignited Project became a nonprofit organization, it began as my personal mission. As a survivor, investigative podcaster, and advocate, I spent years working alongside families impacted by trauma, loss, and injustice. Through that work, I saw a need for more than awareness—I saw a need for action, education, and genuine support for those navigating life’s darkest moments.

That mission became deeply personal when my own family faced a missing persons case. Walking through the uncertainty, fear, and heartbreak of not knowing fundamentally changed me. I experienced firsthand the gaps families face—the lack of guidance, the emotional toll, and the overwhelming responsibility placed on loved ones to advocate while grieving. That experience reshaped how I show up for others and solidified my commitment to ensuring no family has to navigate that journey alone.

The Reignited Project was born from that belief: that healing is not linear—but even in the ashes, there is still light. It exists to ensure no one has to walk through trauma, loss, or uncertainty alone.
