Within the context of our lives, our hashtags and our mantras, we are simply pleading with each other, “See me, because I matter.”
TEDXOCALA: THE SECRET TO HEALING THE WORLD ~ SHEREESE FLOYD
RAISE YOUR VOICE. TELL YOUR STORY.
About The Project
The most sincere and vulnerable thing we ask of human beings is “Will you be a witness to my life?”
The Witness My Life Project is about asking the question — but not waiting for an answer. Witness My Life is for women who are ready to raise their voices and tell their stories so that we are impossible to ignore.
This is a project about people and faces, experiences and places — where challenges meet a determined and sometimes fractured will — where brilliance and excellence are not affixed but instilled — where fear is neither friend nor foe — where freedom requires shattering glass, systems and/or self-perception.
A project where we celebrate women for the full curvature of the word — where we honor all facets of womanly-ness not just the parts deemed preferred.
A project where chains are broken because latches were never truly attached, but adapted.
These are stories of old with narratives a new. Stories of the odd, indifferent, quirky and passionate — whatever makes you, well … you.
It’s time to end this unfortunate era where women are more seen than heard — where being invisible is a default — where expectations are borders of oppression and where giving in to the will of others is connecting the dots to submission.
This is the project for women to tell their stories and be bold — but not just any ole story — it’s about becoming the greatest story ever told.
