We are still trying to catch our breath.

The launch of RESILIENT A.F. Skin Deep Stories was more than a milestone. It was a moment that felt surreal and electric and bigger than anything we could have imagined when this project was just an idea, a hope, a whisper.

This weekend, we didn’t just release a book.


We topped international charts.
We lit up Times Square.

We celebrated turning pain into purpose.

We grew our movement.


And for 24 hours straight, on the 27th minute of every hour, our book shone across a massive billboard for hundreds of thousands of people to see. Watching those stories rise above the noise of New York felt like watching resilience itself take center stage. We cried. We screamed. We held each other. We will never forget it.

Inside this book are 30 stories of resilience powerful enough to crack people open and stitch them back together. Inked bodies. Permanent scars. Survival, showing on our skin. These aren’t just stories. They’re proof that humans rebuild, reinvent, and rise.

And then came the art exhibit brunch. A room full of coauthors, supporters, loved ones, and the energy of people who survived their hardest chapters and still showed up with open hearts. Being surrounded by that kind of courage was overwhelming in the most beautiful way.

We built this together.
We held this vision together.
We brought this book into the world together.


And every single person who believed in this project became part of its heartbeat.

To our coauthors, our team, our community, and everyone who shared, preordered, celebrated, or cried happy tears with us… thank you. You made this launch unforgettable.

We did this.


And it feels profoundly, powerfully, beautifully RESILIENT A.F.
