About September Letters
Co-founded by Brittany Snow and Jaspre Guest, September Letters launched in September 2020. Creating an online platform that not only raises mental health awareness but provides support for those in need through the power of letter writing was paramount to them.
September Letters: Finding Strength and Connection in Sharing Our Stories, released in May 2023 by HarperCollins, is an extension of Snow and Guest’s September Letters online mental health platform that collects letters in all forms—written, scribbled, typed, and doodled—from community members, friends, and celebrities like Maddie Ziegler, Hannah Bronfman, Kid Cudi, Joel McHale, Rebel Wilson and more. It also contains advice from mental health experts like David Kessler, Gretchen Rubin, Mark Epstein, Bob Roth and Jay Shetty.
Activist and actress Brittany Snow has been championing conversations around mental health for more than fifteen years. She is a passionate and outspoken advocate for mental health awareness and wellbeing. She is the co-founder of the nonprofit movement Love is Louder with the Jed Foundation and MTV. In 2020, she started the letter-writing and therapeutic experience September Letters with her friend Jaspre Guest. She has written, directed and produced a movie about mental health and addiction that will be released in 2023. She is a metaphysics and science fiction fan and loves escape rooms, puzzles, and mysteries. She lives on hummus and guacamole, but not together. She hates air hockey and anything colonial. She hopes one day to have ten more rescue dogs because Billie and Charlie are her favorite things.
Creative entrepreneur and activist Jaspre Guest created her career by shunning traditional norms. Known as “the fixer”, she is the founder of boutique branding and PR agency Noise 784. Jaspre has led initiatives for a range of nonprofits, including It Gets Better, Global Citizen, the International Rescue Committee, Love Is Louder, and the ASPCA. In 2020, she cofounded a letter-writing initiative, September Letters, with her friend Brittany Snow. Jaspre’s next project, Finding Your Magic, will fulfill her desire to help people by creating a hub for healing. She has been featured in PEOPLE, E!, Forbes and Coveteur. Jaspre is obsessed with her fruit salad, aka her Pomeranians: Papaya, Fig, Rhubarb and Quince.

Marisa Renee Lee is a called-upon advocate, writer, and speaker on coping with grief. In 2008, she lost her mother to breast cancer, in 2019 Marisa and her husband lost a much-wanted pregnancy, and most recently, she lost a young cousin to the COVID-19 pandemic.

She recently partnered with Ritual's well-being app as a writer and narrator alongside other leaders in science, faith, and culture.

As a former appointee in the Obama White House, Marisa previously served as the Deputy Director of Private Sector Engagement, a Senior Advisor on the Domestic Policy Council, and as the Managing Director of the MBK Alliance, the nonprofit born out of President Obama's call to action to address the barriers to success that boys and young men of color disproportionately face in their lives. She is a rabble-rouser of social healing and currently serves as CEO of the social impact consulting firm Beacon Advisors, co-founder of the digital platform Supportal, and founder of The Pink Agenda, a national organization dedicated to raising money for breast cancer care, research, and awareness.
