Riley Mackenzie is a photographer, actress, artist in Toronto and shows up in the world with lightness, gentle grace and wisdom beyond her years. Seven years ago when she was a teenager, her single mom died of cancer suddenly and her stories of grief, resilience, resourcefulness is awe-inspiring. Hammock Stories shines a light on everyday heroes who get comfortable on a hammock and feel held to dive into their vulnerability and wisdom. We get treated to stories  about when things fell apart in their lives, their struggles with mental health, grief, and their stories of resilience and healing. Through these stories, hopefully we can better understand our lived individual experiences and realize how much more interconnected our lives are.Connect with us @hammockheroes and help us spread this story by telling a friend.Special thanks to our audio production genius, Chris Harris.
