Arise Shine!

Labeled by Love

In 2015 I found myself desperate, confused, and hopeless. My clothes boldly declared OC inmate. I had been reduced to a number, and felt the weight of every false label I believed about myself.

While ashamed and at my lowest, I met a messenger of mercy. This sheriff treated me with dignity, and the uncommon compassion that he showed me broke through the barrier of my leper loneliness. A moment of grace started bringing wholeness and restoration to my broken humanity. I believe it is the kindness of God that led me to repentance. I began to encounter God's unstoppable, unfailing love. I have been set free from addiction, mental illness, trauma, and the bondage of self. I went from mourning to dancing, from depression to joy. I believe the same transformation, breakthrough, freedom, and victory is possible for your life, your family and friends lives, and in neighborhoods, cities and regions. May you walk in the fullness of your calling and be all that God created you to be. May you know and experience the life changing, perfect, holy love of God, and may you experience the hope of reconciliation as I did.  

My dream for this clothing brand is to help meet both practical and spiritual needs for the reentry population, those in recovery, and our friends who are experiencing homelessness.

You are so much more than your past!
