Are You Tired Of All The Hate, Vitriol, And Division?

Change sometimes seems like it’s just around the corner, yet remains ever elusive.

“We’re not as bad as them, though,” many say to justify their actions.

At a time when division seems to be reaching extremes, we are also experiencing a loneliness epidemic.

We’ve stopped seeing people and are seeing positions instead. We’ve dug our trenches and staked out who will be counted as human and who we will dehumanize.

How can loneliness be so strong when people seem so deeply devoted to their ideological groups?

We lack true belonging.

While the full answer is multi-layered and extremely complex, it’s hard to ignore what researcher Dr. Brené Brown has to say. Dr. Brown declares that the biggest hallmark of belonging is dissent. To truly belong, we must be part of something bigger than us with people we don’t agree with.

Further, researchers all agree: belonging is a fundamental human need.

Further, Dr. Brown states, “True belonging never asks us to change who we are.”

How Do We Heal The Divide?

We can only heal by seeing the beauty and humanity in others. It is not in demanding others to exclusively see the world the same way we do. Nor is it conforming to the views of others.

How can I see your beauty if I cannot even see you as a person? How can I see you if I only see your positions?

We have shattered belonging by hating and degrading those with different ideas.

Across the political spectrum, throughout various groups, the same behaviors are consistently demonstrated:

• There’s a demand to care while using degrading language.
• There’s a demand to be heard while ignoring the stories of those with different views.
• There’s a demand to change while refusing to contemplate the experiences of others.
• There’s demand after demand with little to no willingness to consider the perspectives of others.

Here’s My Invitation:

Join me in a systematic approach to see other’s humanity and beauty. Join the Beautiful Humans movement.

Beautiful Humans is about renewing our sense of shared humanity. Beautiful Humans stands for the belief that all humans are inherently beautiful.

We are doing this through film and storytelling. We are traveling the country (and, with enough support, the world) to draw out life lessons and lived experiences from folk of many backgrounds and walks of life.

I’m not asking you to forsake your values or abandon your policy positions. I’m not asking you to ignore people’s actions that you believe are harmful. 

I’m inviting you to join me in seeing the inherent beauty in all people.

Together, we can be a part of something bigger than ourselves with people we don’t agree with. Together, we can foster true belongingness.

Belonging cannot be fostered when we do not feel seen or heard. Yet this is exactly what all humans need, and it is a deeply biological need.

I want to interview the people you love and those you don’t want to love. I want to talk to the people you see as beautiful and those you don’t see beauty in. And I want you to help me get there.

Will you join me in the Beautiful Humans movement?

Together, we can invest in healing and humanizing one another. 

You don’t have to be fully bought into these beliefs. You don’t have to believe that all are inherently beautiful. 

But if some part of you thinks that this might slow the hate…

Or even if you just want to believe that seeing the humanity in one another could reduce the nastiness…

Please join the Beautiful Humans movement.

Joining Beautiful Humans means spreading what all humans need: connection centered on belonging and shared humanity. Beautiful Humans is about the beauty in existing together. 

You are wanted.
Your support is needed.
And together, and only together, we can begin to heal.

Step 3: If possible, decide how much you want to financially support this movement.

We have five levels of monthly memberships available through our Patreon page. You can read more about these below. Additionally, if you can afford to join us on the frontlines of this movement, please pay to nominate someone to have a film made for them.

How You Can Financially Support The Movement

Join us in spreading the message that all are beautiful. Whether you’re an individual who wants to be more engaged or a business that wants to prosper while spreading this message, we want your support. 

Monthly Membership Options
Starting as low as $5 per month, we have membership options that can take you behind the scenes, deliver Beautiful Humans film-based products to your home, and more. 

Nominate Someone (or Yourself!) for a Film
Want to highlight someone’s beauty (which can include yourself)? You can nominate someone to be filmed. You’ll be credited in a unique way. 

Highlight Your Business’s Human Impact
Would you like to tell an emotionally powerful story about how your business impacts the lives of the people and communities you serve? We can help tell your story.

How Businesses Can Support The Movement

If you would like to support Beautiful Humans, we have several options that are generally accepted as tax-deductible expenses. (Of course, please consult with your accounting team.)

• Memberships
  Just like a book, these films are educational, and all memberships can typically be expensed as such.
  
  

• Name in Credits
  We can feature either your individual name or business name in the credits. This can typically be expensed under marketing.
  

• Nominate Someone for a Film
  Want to invest powerfully in a relationship and show someone how much you value them? There’s little else we’ve seen that can do so as powerfully as helping tell and amplifying their story. This can typically be expensed under marketing as this is a form of networking. Alternatively, you can have the film made for you, and it can be used to promote your personal brand. If you choose to have the film be “Presented by,” this is a natural marketing expense.

• Have a Film Made About Your Business
  If your marketing budget allows you to produce a short film that highlights your organization’s beautiful human impact, you can expense this under marketing. We are experienced marketers with skills in emotional and visual storytelling. We can help you stand out in a sea of generic marketing.
