Packed my bags for the last time after 12 unforgettable years with @charitywater. Today is my last day, and I’m leaving with immense gratitude for this final trip, for the experiences that have shaped me, and for the countless lessons I’ve learned from the remarkable people I’ve met along the way.
This trip to Ethiopia was special in more ways than I can count and filled with stories that have left a deep impact on me. It has been an honor to work alongside this team (@tylerriewer, @baileyjojurgens, @kellyherrington, @its.me.jc), our dedicated partners at @reliefsocietyoftigray, and the inspiring people who generously entrusted us with their stories. I’ll carry these moments with me always, and I can’t wait to share this story.

Twelve years ago, I got an unexpected invitation from @scottharrison and @vikharrison to join the @charitywater team.
I never imagined I’d live in New York City. And in many ways, working at charity: water felt like a dream. For me, it was about more than ending the water crisis. I was drawn in by a bigger vision: to reinvent charity. Reimagining what charity could look like, and using my passion for storytelling to help shape a brighter, more generous, and more hopeful world.
Over the past 12 years, I’ve had the privilege to travel the world and witness some of the most profound, joyful, and heart-shifting moments of my life.
I met remarkable local partners who modeled what it means to lead with integrity and compassion. I collaborated with talented local storytellers whose voices added nuance and depth to the stories we told. I’ve learned the importance of building with people, not for them. That trust lasts longer than attention spans, and that what sticks with people most is how you make them feel.
Our generous supporters have shown me what’s possible when people come together for a shared purpose. Thank you for your passion, creativity, generosity, and belief that caring communities can create real change in the world.
To the extraordinary creative team, it’s been an absolute honor collaborating with you. You are some of the most curious, passionate, and wildly innovative people I know. Thank you for pushing the boundaries and reshaping what nonprofit storytelling can be. You’ve set a new standard for what’s possible when we lead with heart, integrity, and imagination. @tylerriewer @its.me.jc @baileyjojurgens @kellyherrington @bekawatts @jamieleighschilling @mikesmith @charamelody @dennymcfadden @gregyagoda @alessnicole @carrietodd @emilyhopcian @alexandralund @mymyforever @emilysabens @emma_bairo @andiefurbs @hannahmcroberts25 @kristinabrumby @bestationary @lindsieherring @marissajonez @atroute @ohjimmyfilms @paulwithacamera @jeremysnell @estherhavens @austinmann @surajshakya @nihab_rahman @trevorgrogers @dutch_ryan @garrettderossett @mdpamer. You all inspire me deeply.

To the extraordinary creative team, it’s been an absolute honor collaborating with you. You are some of the most curious, passionate, and wildly innovative people I know. Thank you for pushing the boundaries and reshaping what nonprofit storytelling can be. You’ve set a new standard for what’s possible when we lead with heart, integrity, and imagination. @tylerriewer @its.me.jc @baileyjojurgens @kellyherrington @bekawatts @jamieleighschilling @mikesmith @charamelody @dennymcfadden @gregyagoda @alessnicole @carrietodd @emilyhopcian @alexandralund @mymyforever @emilysabens @emma_bairo @andiefurbs @hannahmcroberts25 @kristinabrumby @bestationary @lindsieherring @marissajonez @atroute @ohjimmyfilms @paulwithacamera @jeremysnell @estherhavens @austinmann @surajshakya @nihab_rahman @trevorgrogers @dutch_ryan @garrettderossett @mdpamer.

Twelve years ago, I got an unexpected invitation from @scottharrison and @vikharrison to join the @charitywater team.
I never imagined I’d live in New York City. And in many ways, working at charity: water felt like a dream. For me, it was about more than ending the water crisis. I was drawn in by a bigger vision: to reinvent charity. Reimagining what charity could look like, and using my passion for storytelling to help shape a brighter, more generous, and more hopeful world.
Over the past 12 years, I’ve had the privilege to travel the world and witness some of the most profound, joyful, and heart-shifting moments of my life.
I met remarkable local partners who modeled what it means to lead with integrity and compassion. I collaborated with talented local storytellers whose voices added nuance and depth to the stories we told. I’ve learned the importance of building with people, not for them. That trust lasts longer than attention spans, and that what sticks with people most is how you make them feel.
Our generous supporters have shown me what’s possible when people come together for a shared purpose. Thank you for your passion, creativity, generosity, and belief that caring communities can create real change in the world.

The snow was relentless. So were we. Some days aren’t about finishing, they’re about continuing. Proof that progress sometimes looks like persistence. Some work feels endless. That’s when doing it anyway matters most.
Progress isn’t always visible right away. Sometimes it’s measured by how many times you come back and try again. And again. And again. Keep pushing. Keep moving forward. You’ve got this!
“We can talk about making a difference. We can make a difference. Or we can do both.” - @debbiemillman
@creativemorning with @swissmiss is always an inspiring way to start the day! Especially when @debbiemillman and @sethgodin share the stage for a live recording of the Design Matters Podcast. It was such a beautiful and profound conversation with themes from @sethgodin’s new book #ThisIsStrategy!
If the Design Matters podcast is new to you, be sure and subscribe so you can catch the entire conversation when it’s released! 🎙️

🚂 Took the Hogwarts Express to #TheErasTour (Melanie’s Version!)
Karma is a friend living her Wildest Dreams! It is such an honor to be here and be in your cheer squad, @melanienyema! I’m in awe of you, and it warms my heart so much seeing you do what you love. Proud of you, my friend! 🎶🪩🎶
60 seconds, hundreds of images, all completely unique! Recently I stopped by my dear friend @jeremycowart’s studio in Nashville for a 60-second photoshoot! Yes, all of these photos were taken in just SIXTY SECONDS!
Jeremy has been developing and refining this process for years, and it was incredible to finally witness in person. He has 8 distinctive lighting setups that change every single frame, as well as hundreds of AI-generated backdrops he created with Midjourney which are in constant rotation on a giant LED screen, making each and every image completely unique.
Jeremy’s process is absolutely groundbreaking, imaginative, inventive, and unlike anything you’ll ever experience. He is always experimenting, pushing himself and dreaming up new ideas and innovative methods. Be sure and check out Jeremy’s work, and don’t miss the opportunity to visit him at his studio!
Jeremy, I’m so inspired by you and grateful for your friendship!
One year ago today, 3.23.23, we got married! We exchanged rings and vows in front of a few dear friends (and 🦌 friends) at our Hudson Valley home. After the ceremony, we celebrated with pizza and s’mores. It was perfect.
Thank you to our beloved officiant (@ruthielindsey) and photographers (@withhearts and @bethanymarieco) who helped make it a day we’ll never forget.
Family and friends, thank you for loving us. We don’t know where we’d be without you, and we hope to hug you soon!
