Congratulations to Ascend Justice on their successful 2024 Celebration of Courage earlier this month! Our latest video collaboration premiered at the event and featured one woman's incredible story of survivorship and advocacy. It's a true honor to partner with organizations like theirs and tell these stories of hope and inspiration 🧡

This year, our Celebration of Courage honored mother, survivor, and fierce advocate for women, Crystal Martinez, her amazingly strong daughter Nevaeh, a team of incredible attorneys at Kirkland & Ellis who worked pro bono to help Crystal get out of prison, and two powerhouse legislators who make sure our laws work for survivors, State Representative Kelly Cassidy and Senator Robert Peters.

Learn more about why they are all Champions of Justice in our new video! https://youtu.be/AEvQ5vLv5m4

Whatever we are today is so much a part of who she is and the dedication that she has put into our mission of producing, not only high-level video content, but rewarding experiences for our clients and partners.
