It’s been a few years since Candy Chang first debuted her project, Before I Die, and it has since grown into a therapeutic phenomenon–a universal bucket list, if you will. First beginning on the side of an abandoned building in her New Orleans neighborhood, there are now over 300 Before I Die walls in over 50 countries and over 20 languages. Chang is even releasing a book this fall, Before I Die (A Collective Celebration) is available for preorder at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, IndieBound, Overstock, and Powell’s.
