"Dear Jane,
I had the privilege of meeting you in December 2020 and the honor of capturing your portrait.
It marked the beginning of a uniquely magical and warm connection.
Although we didn’t know each other before, it felt almost immediately familiar and meaningful.
Our collaboration continued the following year, after the publication of your book Making Peace with Your Roots.
Every story we wish to tell, every narrative that describes our lives, holds reflections in many forms.
In your stories, I recognized my own past wounds, and how beautiful, and also the power to transform them into love and acceptance.
Your words brought comfort and became a gentle beacon from which I felt a new sense of energy and inspiration.
They helped me to face those inner obstacles, or rather, to no longer see them as hindrances, but to appreciate them and befriend them.
It’s incredibly moving to witness what my meeting with you has awakened in me.
You, with your magical soul full of love and tenderness.
I am deeply grateful for what you share and radiate into the world.
I truly believe it reaches far beyond what the eye can see.
The heart speaks, and it heals.
