  • A Fucking Avocado... Oriana & Rodney
    Nov 23 2023

    Oriana and I met through real estate. She, is an amazing agent, I was hired to do her headshots. We instantly bonded on the topic of mental health.

    Despite having worked several times with Oriana, I still hadn't had a chance to hear her story. Today, I finally got to hear a bit of it... And you do too! Affected since high school, she tried to end it all. She has pushed past the odds and today, speaks very openly about this disease, her opinions on medications, and why people going through similar challenges find her and trust her.


    Rodney never realized that he had a mental health battle going on. But once he was diagnosed, so many things in his life suddenly made sense! From growing up in a small town where men don't talk about these things, to finding escapism through drugs and alcohol and how he realized he needed to do something drastic in order to save himself... Helped by the new love in his life, Oriana... And their mutual love of motorcycling.


    Together they have pushed forward and, today, are spearheading a campaign in the hopes of raising even more awareness through branded clothing, and other items. www.inspiredbytrauma.ca


    And, you'll also discover why Oriana isn't very happy with one doctor's recommendation that a lot of things could be solved with an avocado.
