We are a community of struggle. We have dealt with depression, suicide and addiction. We were hopeless. Now we know another world is possible and we’d like to offer that same grace to you.

I firmly believe in the correlation of salvation and love. I also believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales. I don’t eat or wear animals because they’re my friends. Only two seasons exist to me: summer and almost summer because nothing compares to the feeling of sand between your toes. I believe in six impossible things before breakfast. In addition to Open Our Eyes, I run a music management and marketing company: Band Aid Records. I blog daily and photograph life. As a result of my gypsy soul, I’m addicted to change. I have a huge heart for Africa, Palestine, GLBT community and young women knowing their worth. I don’t believe in being comfortable or a calm course of existence.

I believe that love conquers all and will always win. I am a wife, a middle school teacher, zumba dancer, coffee drinker and a worship leader. I love taking photos, especially of people. It is such a wonderful feeling when someone looks at a photo I took of them and smiles. I want people to see how beautiful they are. Taking pictures of beauty gives me life. My husband and I own a photography company called S. Sodini Photography. My favorite color is rainbow. To me, singing is both the most intimidating thing and the most freeing thing ever. I have been to Honduras twice and I left my heart there both times. I deeply love the people of Honduras and cannot wait to go back. I love community and believe that sharing your troubles brings healing. I want chained people to experience freedom.

I’ve always been the girl to fight for what she believes in and make it known to the world – all while shying away behind a giant glass wall. My heart belongs to children battling for their lives, and my purpose is to keep the memory alive of those we’ve lost. I believe that the people who perhaps spend too much time alone are the ones who rise with the greatest intentions. Every human being deserves a voice and an opportunity to stand up and speak out. Coffee keeps me sane, and I am quite positive I was born in the wrong generation. To me, words often speak more than what they literally say.
