I was born and raised in Southern California, used to the sunshine and easy winters spent at the beach. My early life was filled with trauma only women can understand - the loss of and ultimate maturing without my father, assault at the hands of a superior at my first job after college, and ultimately the loss of my dreams at the hand of these traumas.

At the start of the COVID pandemic, I completely switched gears from fashion design and decided that I wanted to become a prosecutor, and use law to somehow help women who had ended up in the position I did. This path led me to a job at the District Attorneys office of Los Angeles in the Human Sex Trafficking sector.

I met women who have been to the worst parts of the world, with the worst people in the world, and somehow came out of it with strength and humor, telling their stories but still excited about living their life. Colors shone bright through their smiles, and their inspiration radiated through to me that I can still be myself and live my life despite the traumas I have been through.

This line is dedicated to those women - women who still laugh, love, and believe after trauma. Women who live their life according to themselves, and not those who tried to take a piece of them. Women who let their colors shine through.
