The project started when Lady PheOnix connected with Ju'Niyah Palmer, Breonna's sister, having sensed a need for a safe space online where her family and friends could mourn. It became apparent that entire communities needed a place to process their grief, with a notable lack of accessible safe spaces. From there, Breonna's Garden was born.

"We created Breonna's Garden to honor the life of Breonna Taylor with the intention that it be a peaceful refuge, unencumbered by the weight of the world," said Lady PheOnix.

The technology allows people in the garden to record their own messages, effectively creating a chain of vulnerability with the hopes to heal entire communities. We are honored to present an initiative that connects experiences across the universe. Breonna's Garden provides a quiet moment to surrender and let go.

With two ways to participate, either at the FilmGate Interactive Media Festival or from the comfort of your own home, this experience is open to everyone.

Now is the perfect time to say her name louder.
