welcome to the girl on the left
this isn’t your typical before & after story
Maybe you’ve cropped her out of old photos, cringed at her choices, or rolled your eyes at how clueless she was. But here’s the thing—
She got you here.
The girl on the left wasn’t perfect, but she was trying. She was messy, awkward, and maybe a little lost—but she was also learning, dreaming, becoming. And she deserves more than a side-eye from the person she fought to become.
She wasn’t a mistake. She was the beginning. And it’s time to give her the damn credit she deserves.
THIS PROJECT IS A LOVE LETTER TO HER
STORIES FROM ALL WOMEN, FOR ALL WOMEN
Our collection of stories don’t shame the past but celebrate it. Because every version of you (yes, even the one with the bad hair and questionable life choices) deserves to be seen with love.
WHY IT MATTERS
We live in a world obsessed with “glow-ups” and highlight reels. But what if we shared a bit more of the mess? What if we flipped the script and raised a glass to our imperfect selves? One story at a time.
