Celebrating 5 years in action!

By: Gayathri Shukla, May 23, 2025 

In June 2020, Campfire Kinship didn’t begin as a business—it began with a belief that stories could spark connection, courage, and change.

Today, five years later, that spark has become a space for lived experience to be seen, heard, and valued – from boardrooms to classrooms, policy tables to podcasts and bookshelves.

While we didn’t officially launch as a business until September 2021, this 5-year mark matters deeply because global narratives around inclusion are rapidly shifting.

I’m proud to share our Impact Report as a reflection of what’s in motion and a glimpse of where we’re headed next.

A huge thanks to Natasha Sidi from Chasepixel, whose expert guidance (and patience with all the revisions!) was instrumental in designing this report. If you’re looking for a designer, I can’t help but put in a plug for this incredibly talented and kind human!

To everyone who’s helped shaped this journey: thank you. There are far more names than we could fit in one report, but please know I look forward to walking alongside each of you in the chapters still to come. 🙏🏽
