BLUE: MY LIFE IN PINK - CELEBRATING THE WOMAN WITHIN
When I read that headline I was so excited and blown away. The world can seem like such a dark and scary place sometimes but it’s things like that that show how far we’ve come and how beautiful the world can be. When I was in high school you didn’t even hear about transgender people and I don’t think there were even many, if any, openly gay kids in my school. And now, to be able to be yourself truly and be embraced for it, it’s just so fantastic! I know this isn’t the case in many other communities all over the country and world, but that’s why Blue’s story is so important, because it can give hope to those who don’t have the level of support she’s received. That’s why I wanted to tell her story, I wanted to not only celebrate this wonderful woman for standing in her truth and totally owning her beauty, but to show all the other young people out there a ray of hope. I want to show everyone I can that there is nothing more beautiful than being truly yourself.
