Yesterday’s premier was more than I could have even imagined. And now, this art show—my love letter to the Phoenix moment in women’s lives—has raised $2,318 for the YWCA.
I have seen women rise from the ashes, stepping into the most beautiful, powerful versions of themselves. I have learned that when we find our own light and feed our fire, we shine bright for others. They see it. They feel it. And maybe, just maybe, they realize they can shine a little brighter, too.
To love ourselves is to find our power and our agency. To love ourselves is to love others. To love ourselves is to show the world that no matter what happens, we will always stand tall. Because every day, we celebrate all we have survived. We are poetic creations made from everything we have seen, touched, heard, loved, and cried for. We are the embodiment of power, resilience, strength, and vulnerability.
And we will always rise!!!!
My deepest gratitude goes to Matt and Lonna, Curators and Owners for hosting this Art Show/Protest. It takes a level of bravery to boldly share art of the n**e human form in this current state of the world, and it does not go unnoticed.
Endless gratitude to the brave women who modeled for this show—who bared their souls and bodies as both protest and living art. Their courage is a testament to the power of self-expression, to reclaiming space, to standing unapologetically in their truth. This is bravery in its purest form, and I am in awe.
A huge thank you to for turning my scattered brainstorming into something tangible and real. Without her organization and publicity magic, I no doubt would have forgotten at least 75% of what I needed. She’s not just the best publicist I’ve ever had—she’s the reason this show came together so seamlessly.
