scars once whispered my past, now a rose speaks of growth, strength, and beauty beyond the struggle
If your ink could speak, what would it say?I am more than ink—I am transformation. I cover wounds, not to erase them, but to honor them. I turn pain into beauty, scars into strength. Each line whispers resilience, every shade speaks growth. I do not hide stories—I elevate them. I am a testament to survival, a canvas of victories, a declaration of identity. If I could speak, I would say: You are not defined by your past, but by the art you create from it.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I win, this money won’t just be mine—it will be a force for fairness. Excessive sentencing strips people of second chances, and I want to invest in advocacy, research, or action that pushes for change in the system.
