For the last week, I poured my energy into creating a living tribute to Victoria “Vic” Castle.

I was overwhelmed with an unbelievable mix of sadness, rage, helplessness, & dissociation. I needed to find something that would help me stay grounded, stay present, and feel like I was making a small difference. I couldn’t make sense of what happened. I still can’t.

I found it painful to see Vic on social media/news, almost always with X.

When I longed to see her beautiful face, her smile, and her wonderfully quirky spirit, I’d open her IG only to be confronted with the haunting image of X.
I needed there to be a place that belonged only to Vic—a place where her beauty, brilliance, kindness, resilience, passion, fearlessness, + adventurous spirit could shine, free from that darkness.

I created The Living Legacy of Vic to preserve her spirit & help her light continue to shine in the world. I hope it becomes a living collection of memories, photographs, adventures, acts of kindness, inspiration, and stories shared by everyone whose life she touched. The images attached highlight the current pages of the website, along with the QR code to access the scholarship—the meaningful way the Castle family chose to honor Vic’s passion for learning, discovery, and the work she loved.

If you knew Vic, I hope you’ll visit the website and plant another seed in her garden by sharing a memory or sending a favorite photograph to [email protected]. If you didn’t, I hope you leave a message of hope, kindness, or encouragement. Every contribution helps her light continue to ripple outward into the world.

Thank you to Athi & the Castle family for trusting me with the incredible honor of building this site for Victoria. And thank you to my friends and family for the outpouring of love and support throughout this past week.

May this space offer comfort, connection, and healing—for those who knew and loved Vic, and for those who will come to know her extraordinary spirit through the legacy she leaves behind.
