2020
From the pandemic, to social isolation, to the Black Lives Matter protests, 2020 has challenged us and changed us in many different ways.
We’ve interviewed people in elementary school, frontline workers, new parents, and everyone in between to ensure that we hear from the many different voices that represent our community.
2020: In your Words is a mini-series that shares genuine and candid conversations on how 2020 has impacted our community members.
“I see and hear tough things in the grassroots work I do. I can either choose to do something about it, or I can be sad about it. To the best of my ability, I choose to do something.”

About Meris Kieller Photography
I'm Meris, a freelance photographer currently in Guelph, Ontario.
I'm most passionate about documenting stories. I feel that it's important to hear stories and see from viewpoints that we don't always have access to. I believe this can help us find perspective in our lives and feel more connected to our world and the people in it.
