Cheese Dip

This is the cheese dip to your pretzel. The bike shorts to your butt. The hot sauce to your smashed avocado. Basically it is the thing you may not have missed at first but once you’ve tried it you are hooked! So good, so tasty, so satisfying. Give it a shot!

Participant Review

Working with Clara was such a gift, her vision for this project is so clear and exciting. To give normal, un-famous people an opportunity to reflect on the mundane, the negative, and to share our experience is so liberating! Finally, our stories are told without pomp and circumstance, without an edge of “positivity porn” that often comes with a under-privileged person sharing their story. I cannot wait for the next episodes, there is so much exciting stuff coming up!!
