Stories of Transformation

Photo by David Cronin

Stories of Transformation is our ongoing storytelling project about some of ACSS's clients. Using photography, video, and words, this is a growing archive of the profound impact that Atlanta Center for Self Sufficiency has had in the lives of people dedicated to turning their own lives around.

The photos by local photographers David Cronin and Maran Banta feature our clients

  • where they are now,
  • where they feel most themselves, and
  • where they aspire to be.

Life is a journey. For all of the people represented here, as with all of us, the story is not over. We support them as they continue to strive, aspire, and transform.

Click on the pictures below to read their stories. (More stories will soon be available, so check back often!)
