About the Project
Every breath holds a story.
Pride in Every Breath is an ongoing storytelling collaboration between Navian Hawaii and the Hawaiʻi Health & Harm Reduction Center (HHHRC) that amplifies LGBTQIA+ voices and shares personal stories about identity, love, family, caregiving and care.
Through photography, interviews and personal storytelling, the project creates space for LGBTQIA+ individuals and their loved ones to share their experiences—and for our community to listen, learn and connect.
A Collaboration Rooted in Community
This project brings together Navian Hawaii and HHHRC around a shared belief that health and well-being extend beyond medical care. They are shaped by our identities, our relationships, our families and our communities—and by whether we feel seen, respected and valued.
Together, we are creating a space for LGBTQIA+ stories that might otherwise go unheard and highlighting the people, relationships and experiences that shape our lives.
More Stories. More Voices. More Visibility.
Pride in Every Breath is an evolving project. As it grows, we will continue to share stories from LGBTQIA+ individuals and families throughout our community.
Because no two stories are the same.
And every breath holds a story worth hearing.
New stories are added over time. Meet the people at the center of this series →
