Hear Me Roar

It's about owning YOUR identity. This is the YOU you want society to acknowledge. The real YOU.

There's something weighing heavy on the hearts of many. There’s something they are desperately trying to say. There’s something they are wanting you to hear. It may not seem like much to you, but to them, to them it means everything. It's important.

It’s time to listen.

For those who are screaming on the inside, crying to be heard. It’s time to speak up.

Your voice is the strongest weapon you have in your arsenal. Use it wisely. Use it bravely. Use it confidently. And use it always.

It’s time to speak up. 

Let. Us. Roar.

I Am Della

"I am more than you could ever make me out to be.

I am the reflection of some of the things you need to see.

I care.

I fight for what I feel is right. I listen and won't let you silence me.

I am strong.

I am human.

I am finding my balance.

I am on the path to my purpose.

I am blessed.

I am a blessing.

I am LOVE.

I am ME."

I Am MARQUE

"I am...

I am a Puerto Rican man that believes love is love and we’re ALL deserving of it.

I am a man who sees strength in vulnerability, truth, and loyalty.

I am a man that believes our ancestors have earned us a fair chance at an extraordinary life no matter what shade, shape, or sex we are.

I am compassion.

I am strength.

I am ME."
