WE are the work
WE are in a trauma pile up.
Our shared history of hierarchical oppression has reached a threshold that can no longer be contained. The vitriol and hypocrisy is unbearable and WE, the people, continue to be trapped in unthinkable situations.
It doesn’t matter how old you are, what gender you identify as, the color of your skin, who you love, how you pray, or where you live; if you are human today, this is what you are dealing with, and it is why you feel so shitty.
This pattern will only be broken when WE take the time to intentionally question why WE feel the way WE do.
A better reality is available, but WE will have to create it together.
That begins with me, and you, doing the highly personal work of decolonizing our minds, our bodies, and our souls.
read my book
“Abby Kamen is a fresh new voice on a subject that is vital to the thriving of humanity: how to prevent the pain of the past from being repeated in our future. With Generation WE, she offers inspiration and instruction on how we can-and must-each be part of this shift."- Ruby Warrington, author of Sober Curious and Women Without Kids
“Through the weaving together of individual, familial, and societal narratives, Generation WE invites us to surrender the arbitrary structures that confine and limit the truth of who we are.
Through vulnerable self reflection, Abby Kamen presents the reader with a call to action to love one another where we are, thus enabling us all to become so much more.”- Bailey Hampton LMFT
heal with art
“Abby Kamen's art is a call to awaken, to see the world through the lens of our hearts and to challenge the narratives that keep us divided. Her art does not simply identify the systems that perpetuate harm. It offers a bold and compassionate vision for healing, accountability and liberation.
Throughout her work, the camera appears as a recurring motif. It serves as both a witness and a metaphor for perspective, reminding viewers that what they see is influenced by where they stand, what they have been taught and which experiences they have been willing, or unwilling, to acknowledge.
The camera also represents the gifts people bring to the work of building a more liberated world when they choose to view themselves and others through a wider, more expansive lens.” - Kim Plyler, founder and curator of Arete Gallery
a bit about me
I am a writer, artist, creative, and seeker - this is who I have always been. Along the way, I’ve also been a banker, built retail and office space, designed interiors, planned events, fought for hunger relief, participated in social justice movements, and raised a family.
In addition to my own projects, I collaborate with other folks and organizations who are vested in protecting our human rights and providing resources for our mental health and well-being. I live in Louisville, KY.
