"It's not a topic that people like to talk about, but all of us have been touched by suicide or have had friends or family members who have battled mental illness. And it's important to talk about it, no matter how difficult or uncomfortable that may be. Working on Scattering CJ has really made this lesson clear to me. It was so powerful to see this community come together in a global act of healing. They were talking. They were listening. And that is what we all need to do."     -JM
