My Name is UNBREAKABLE
How Project Unbreakable Broke my Heart but Strengthened my Spirit
Seeing the women in the photo graphics and reading about “Project Unbreakable,” has really touched my heart and broken it all at the same time. I am strangely moved by this piece in that I am sadden and yet inspired. I believe that every woman is a GEM who has the right to SHINE and that no one, male or female, should violate us or attempt to put out the light with which we were born.
You are a PŪR GEM! You are not what someone else has done to you. Your beauty, light, success, character, and strength is inherently built inside of you and NO ONE can take that away! You are made to SHINE!
With love,
From 1-GEM-2 Another
