Although anti- bully activism is a very prevalent issue in all levels of schooling, sometimes the reality of its overall awareness can make individuals scared to bring it up at all.
Both a mother and photographer in the Denver metro area, Katherine Blunt has made it a point to stand up to acts of bullying, especially when the consequences of it can lead to suicide. Her campaign is called Krusades for Kindness, and it all started when her own daughter was bullied,and right then, she knew that she wanted to do something about it.
Being the social activist & photographer that she is, she decided to take action and photograph a diverse groups of first through 12th graders; that were of all ages, ethnicities, both male and female,to raise awareness of bullying in local schools.
This has resulted in an photo exhibit that will be open to the public on Friday, April 29th at the First Universalist Church in Denver located at 4101 E. Hampden Ave ( at Colorado Blvd.) Her art show will be open through May 15th.
