Your purchase holds immense significance as it supports the Black Poster Project (BPP), a tribute to my late friend Scott Guillen, who tragically lost his life to an overdose. It is also dedicated to honoring my dear friend who is currently on the path to recovery from opioid addiction. The BPP was initiated by Dee Guillen, a grieving mother who experienced the heartbreaking loss of her son, Scott. In 2019, while organizing an overdose awareness event, she conceived the idea of displaying posters of lost loved ones, creating a powerful visual impact.

The project's impact was profound and its reach expanded rapidly. What began with 50 awareness posters has now grown to over 550. Each poster included in the display is crafted upon the request of grieving families, without any financial burden on their part. These poignant posters come together to form a compelling exhibition known as "SILENT MEMORIALS," which travels throughout New Jersey and New York, carrying the collective weight of remembrance and raising awareness.
