Her Laugh

Her Laugh is booklet crafted from various communities reflecting on what Joy means and feels to them.

This booklet is inspired by my best friend who was also a mother to me, Rachel Bowring who happened to have the most heartfelt far reaching laugh I’ve ever herd, her laugh could comfortably reach miles down the road and you would always know where Rachel was. Rachel was a beloved friend to all and the most amazing drama teacher I have ever met and known, she would bring such Joy and Laughter to everyone regardless of the situation, time or challenge she had a super human gift of Joy and it was hers to give and spread far and wide, Still to do this day I see the echoes of her Joy and i’m always astounded by the unshakeable power of love and Joy.

This booklet is dedicated to her and my hope is that this booklet can water the Joy that lays resting in you reading to bloom when the conditions are right.

Her Laugh is still in its finalising stages of development and were hoping the booklet to be ready by Spring 2022 onwards.
