The Boudie Bus : Journey to Empower & Liberate

Save the bus! Funds will go to fix the fuel tank & leak in the air brake system.

Hey Everyone! Sarah Marcella here, driver and photographer of The Boudie Bus! Thank you for coming to check out what I’m all about. Some of you may already know me; I am a pay-what-you-can boudoir photographer for those who do not. Since March, I’ve worked with over 60 individuals in multiple states, from Maine to Indiana to California, empowering them through self-love and transformative boudoir experiences.

While on my trip, I noticed some issues with the bus, which forced me to end my cross-country tour a few weeks early in mid-august. Currently, the bus is in California needs a new fuel tank and has shown signs of leaking air in the braking system; both are crucial for driving. Unfortunately, over the last year, I have replaced the batteries, tires, transmission, radiator, exhaust and most recently, the shifter, totaling over $15000 in repairs. For my most recent fix, the shifter, I received $1000 in donations, and I am so grateful for those who have donated.

This journey has been a tug-a-war on my heart. I know this is my current calling, and I am compelled to continue my mission of empowering & liberating individuals. These boudoir experiences are more than just a photoshoot. They allow individuals to appreciate and love themselves in ways they’ve never done before.

It’s also been heartbreaking and financially taxing, overcoming barriers and obstacles every mile. The individuals I’ve met motivate and inspire me. I’ve experienced deep emotions with my clients and have witnessed their transformations and healing through these sessions. I’ve meditated on my next move and decided that I’m not ready to end this journey.

However, I can no longer continue this journey financially and am turning to the community for help. I ask for your support to continue this mission, and thank you for all the individuals who have supported me this far.
