BIANCA / found the dress of her dreams in Vogue Bride Magazine. Made the appointment, tried it on, cried, hugged and said yes. Then COVID happened and almost two years later, she was able to finally wear the Dress of Her Dreams!  "(the most memorable moment was) definitely wearing the dress of my dreams and putting it on for the first time once I was all ready and was like, omg I'm a Bride!"

"The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off" - I write to you only because it is the first thing I knew to do. Also, and perhaps more truthfully, because I am filled with an awakened rage and a strange hope that this time feels a little different. This time I do hear good men with their own voices, their own rage and shame and solidarity with women - not for their sister's sake or their mother's sake, but for humanity's sake.

We've all learnt a thing or two from the year that just was and while everyone seems quick to exhale 2020 and inhale 2021, I am wary that the year ahead will require the same amount of patience, unlearning and conscious living that 2020 seemed to be preparing us for. If I have learnt anything form the tumultuous year of 2020 it is simply this, we were all unwell.
