You Did It
The cover of the zine. I have 350 preview copies for sale on etsy for the next few days. All proceeds will go to Odette, Grace’s care and our last minute incidental expenses for the Girl Power Rwanda Trip. Please help us spread the word.
Thank you
for encouraging me
for believing something magical could happen
for caring about Odette and her daughters
for being willing to support this dream
for watering a tiny seed that has grown overnight into an incredible source of power and hope
This is your zine, and it will go further and do more good than any one of us can imagine in this moment. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I’ve been following your blog for awhile, and I’m positively shivery with excitement for your trip to Rwanda. My trip to Africa several years ago changed my life — everything about the magical land and the open-hearted people living there got under my skin and has yet to leave. It’s incredible that you’re able to go and spread hope to the girls there and, at the same time, spread hope to those of here who sometimes think our huge dreams are impossible.
