Founder Story
Growing up I never knew my father, being raised in a single parent household meant I never got to witness what a healthy relationship looked like. As I grew older, I found myself in an emotionally abusive relationship as I couldn’t distinguish what was and wasn’t ‘normal’. It was the darkest time of my life, I lost a lot of weight, withdrew from my friends and family and became very isolated. After reaching rock bottom, I did one of the bravest things I could have done and I listened to the inner voice inside of me that constantly told me things weren’t right. I discovered my love for art as a way to further release all my pent up emotions and express myself, and overtime I was able to heal. Now I use my work as a tool to empower women, to remind us all to love ourselves, that our importance and worth isn’t defined by anyone but ourselves. I want my work to help women to authentically and unapologetically love themselves.
