Such an honor to have our Frames Comic Program featured in this amazing documentary. A huge thank you to the Stand Together team, our stellar partners, and our hundreds of students across Colorado! Telling the origin story of Brink Literacy Project and Jaron Cook together feels SO RIGHT!

Literacy goes far beyond reading—it’s a bridge to dignity, opportunity, and meaningful connection with the world. For the 130 million Americans facing the barriers of illiteracy, learning to read can open doors they never thought possible. That’s where Brink Literacy Project steps in, working with marginalized communities to find their voices, one story at a time:

This was amazing to watch. I’ve always had a difficult time explaining the impact the Brink Literacy Project and F(r)iction have in the world, but this video captures that in spades. I’m so honored to have a small part in this program. Congrats for everything you and the rest of the team have created.
