When Jamii and Weber Shandwick’s teams first met in the fall of last year, little did we know we were about to embark on such a rich and creative journey - one that asked each team member of the Health Department to step out of their comfort zone, try something new, and come together to create a powerful and cohesive piece of art.

Led by photographer Sabrine S. Hakam and Jamii’s Director, Isorine Marc, the team took part in an artistic adventure that explored the connection between a chosen deity and each individual's personal interpretation of health - often incorporating meaningful cultural references.

The process asked participants to select a deity, envision how to represent them in a self-portrait, bravely step in front of the camera, curate their photos, develop a title and description for their vision, and then collaborate as a group to craft a title for the exhibit and a shared artistic statement.

This was a unique opportunity to co-create a vision that sparks dialogue around health and communication, while also offering insights that can enrich the work Weber Shandwick do with their clients.

Thank you to Marlo Taylor for her leadership in guiding this project, to each team member for trusting the process and fully engaging, and to the leadership at Weber Shandwick for supporting a project with the potential to create meaningful ripple effects across the company.

Here’s to many more journeys like this one. ARTISTIC STATEMENT BY THE HEALTH TEAM, WEBER SHANDWICK Using photography as a form of expression, our Health Team at Weber Shandwick explored how we can apply the lens of health, womanhood and strength to both our work and our lives. What emerged from this creative process with Jamii was a powerful reflection on individuality, connection, and purpose.

Each woman on our team represents a unique story - distinct in identity, experience, and perspective. Yet together, we form something greater than the sum of our parts. Our roles as women are multifaceted - caregivers, leaders, advocates, creators - and these roles shape not only who we are, but how we show up in the world.

To witness the world as a woman is to embrace challenge and rise above it - and when we come together, our stories and strengths intertwine to create something unstoppable.

As healthcare storytellers, we have a responsibility to integrate ourselves into the lives and experiences of others. Only then can we authentically advocate not only for women but also for everyone.

Health means something different to each of us, and that diversity is what makes our work so impactful. Health isn’t linear. It’s complex, evolving, and sometimes unpredictable. But as a team, we grow stronger by embracing those complexities, supporting each other, and finding strength in the unknown.

Together, our diverse interpretations of health paint a holistic, inclusive, and deeply human picture - one we carry into every story we tell.
