In a world where fast fashion reigns supreme, Michelle stands as a beacon of slow, intentional creativity, reminding us of the beauty that can be found in the simple act of crafting by hand. Through her art, she invites us to slow down, to savor the beauty of the world around us, and to celebrate the timeless artistry of crochet.

I feel like theres no ture definition of a woman because a woman can be a lot of things, born one or not. a woman can be masculine, feminine or both and they can switch it up as much as they please. but what really makes a woman is her confidence in her creativity and whatever she does no matter how anyone percieves her, and she makes other woman confident in their true selves as well.

Y O Y I N t

So you want talk about sisterhood, you want to talk about a bond that builts outside of family ties and lines. Sisterhood, is something that I crave and trust me its not that easy to find. We all crave sisterhood, a pack of girls that allow each other flourish while also holding each other accountable. You want to be around me when I’m up, but when I’m down where are you? Sisterhood, my place of comfort when the world seems to weight of the world weighs me down. Sisterhood, something that I crave right now as I type this paragraph for you guys right now. It seems as if some of my sisters are by my side when they need a good time or a good friend but in return what am I left with? Thoughts on how to be better than I already am, which to be told is more than enough or thoughts on how to ghost the whole world and “move mysteriously”? My sisterhood consist of a couple handful of girls and can list their charactheristics for you: Loyal, caring, understanding, loving, and nurturing.

And to my fellow sisters, thank you for being who you are and allowing me to be a part of your life. - Lé
