RBG Week Come Matter Here / HANNA BRENCHER #2
Hannah moved to NYC her first year after college to work for a human rights organization. Shortly after the move, she began grappling with feelings of loneliness and sadness. Those feelings gradually morphed into something bigger-- something largely unspoken about at the time-- depression. Unable to figure out how to exit her own sadness, Hannah began leaving letters around New York City for unsuspecting visitors and commuters to find. Having grown up with a mother who consistently left her letters to find, it made sense to her to write these same letters to strangers. These letters scattered around New York City prompted Hannah to write a blog post and offer a simple promise to the Internet: if you need a love letter, just ask. Nearly 400 handwritten letters to strangers later, the idea for More Love Letters was born. www.hannahbrenchercreative.com
