Every Journey Has a Story
The Journey Collection was born from the belief that the right words can bring comfort, hope, and connection during life’s most meaningful moments
Why we created The Journey Collection
Two Communication Experts. One Shared Mission.
For decades, we've each spent our careers helping people communicate.
One as an Emmy Award-winning journalist, storyteller, and healthcare communication strategist.
The other as an Emmy Award-winning media executive, leading some of the nation's most respected media organizations and shaping how millions of people receive information.
Then life changed.
One of us became a patient.
Both of us witnessed the same problem.
When people face cancer, grief, mental health challenges, or life's unexpected moments, the people who love them often become silent—not because they don't care, but because they're afraid of saying the wrong thing.
That's why we created The Journey Collection.
Communication changes experiences.
The right words can comfort.
The right message can create connection.
The simple act of reaching out can remind someone they are not alone.
Everything we create begins with that belief.
Princell Hair - Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Every founder brings a different story. Ours evolved into a shared mission: helping people find the words that matter most.
For more than twenty-five years, Princell has led some of the nation's most respected media organizations, including CNN, NBC Sports, Allen Media Broadcasting, and Black News Channel. Throughout his career, one principle has remained constant: communication shapes how people experience life's most important moments.
As a leader, he has helped organizations navigate periods of transformation, build meaningful connections with audiences, and tell stories that inform, inspire, and unite. Today, he brings that same passion to The Journey Collection.
Beyond his professional career, Princell is committed to serving organizations that invest in the next generation of leaders and communicators. He serves as a Southeast Regional Trustee of Boys & Girls Clubs of America and on the Advisory Board of the Dan Patrick School of Sportscasting at Full Sail University, where he helps mentor future storytellers and media professionals.
Whether leading national media organizations, mentoring future communicators, or creating meaningful ways for people to connect, Princell believes the right words have the power to inform, encourage, and change lives. That belief is at the heart of The Journey Collection.
Loriana Hernández-Aldama - Co-Founder & Chief Creative Officer
Different journeys. Shared Purpose.
We believe communication has the power to comfort, encourage, celebrate and heal. Every card we create is designed to help people find the words that matter most, reminding those we love that they are never alone.
For the Journey You Didn’t Plan.
For more than two decades, Loriana Hernández-Aldama built a career telling other people's stories as an Emmy Award-winning journalist, television anchor, and healthcare communication strategist. She has dedicated her professional life to helping people navigate life's most important moments through thoughtful communication, storytelling, and advocacy.
Everything changed when she became the story.
After facing leukemia, a bone marrow transplant, and later breast cancer, Loriana experienced firsthand how difficult it can be for family, friends, and colleagues to find the right words during life's most challenging moments. That experience revealed a powerful truth: people often remain silent, not because they don't care, but because they're afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Today, Loriana continues to help healthcare organizations improve the patient experience while bringing compassion and humanity to every conversation. Through The Journey Collection, she is helping people find words when they matter most, because sometimes the greatest gift isn't having the perfect words. It's simply letting someone know they are not alone.
