1: The Radical Honesty Project MANIFESTO
Who am I? My name is Johanne Lila Larsen. I was born a woman 41 years ago in Denmark, Europe. I'm a journalist from the Danish School of Journalism, self-taught photographer, mainly doing family photojournalism (when I can. Mostly I'm chronically ill with concussion, 11 years and counting). But this is not about any of that. Here, I write about suicide; mine and others (more below). And about being a pilgrim with no end date: I left it all behind to survive suicide as best I can - by following the calling in my heart. By finally listening to me. Along the way I hope to speak to others who have been there (don't hesitate to reach out if that might be you). Together I believe we can change the harsh taboo surrounding the topic of suicide. I hope that by being vulnerable and completely honest myself, I open a door for others to find a space open for this to happen in them as well. And maybe even talk about it. I do believe that is life saving business right ...
