As part of Logo's Real Momentum documentary series, which takes a look at everyday heroes in the LGBT community, Real Momentum Profiles goes a step further in understanding the lives of these remarkable people, thriving in their element. From Mary Seton Corby and Florent Morellet breathing new life into their urban communities, to couple Pam and Susan taking on the toughest terrains, to Mark Randall fostering a new generation of artists, these LGBTs have broken down all barriers to achieve their dreams.
Jenn Hofmann is the co-founder of Nomad Charities, whose main project is to organize medical clinics, food campaigns, clean water projects and educational initiatives for Nomad's 100% solar powered orphanage in Kibwezi, Kenya. HIV/AIDS, malnutrition and poverty run rampant in the community of 30,000.
Jenn's charity work lets her combine adventure and travel in her life.
Upon returning from Kenya, Jenn hits the mountains to recharge.
"Fear for me is knowing that we are their only hope," says Hofmann.
