My art show went live and the reaction blew up fast. The gallery posted the announcement and the comment sections turned into a storm.

People questioned my intentions, my process, my place in the gallery, and my right to create work connected to women’s health. A lot of people judged the work without knowing anything about the story behind it.

This episode is my version of what happened.

I walk through the impact of the comments, the conversations with my family, the friends who checked in, and the moment on the ice that snapped me back into myself. I talk about the year I spent building this project and the years of women’s health advocacy that shaped it long before the show existed.

If you felt something when you saw the show, listen. If you’re a critic, listen. If you care about art, voice, women’s health, or intention, this gives you the full picture the internet can’t hold.

Thanks for showing up.

Still here. Still trying.
