#MeToo

This week a viral movement called "Me Too" took social media by storm. Recently revived by the controversy and horrendous stories coming forward in the Hollywood industry from Harvey Weinstein, it has since expanded to highlight the every day sexism, sexual harassment, and sexual abuse from others in power. Strong, brave women and men have come forward to claim "me too" to highlight the magnitude and widespread scale of a story that is too common but never talked about enough. 

Here at Bravelets, we wanted to give others a platform to share their own "me too" and we launched a social media post that has now been shared, commented on, and liked over around 2,000 times and reached a mass of 56K people on Facebook alone. We wanted take a moment to thank everyone who decided to share their story and to share with you our thoughts surrounding this movement...

Hurricane Relief

 Bravelets has been hard at work producing your custom Texas Brave Collection! As you know, 100% of proceeds were donated to the American Red Cross - Hurricane Harvey Relief. We are proud to announce we raised over $7,000 thanks to YOU and your support for the people in Texas.

100% Proceeds Donated: Hurricane Harvey Relief

Friday, August 25 Hurricane Harvey hit the Texas Coast line, and even as we write this now 6 days later Harvey has only weakened to a Tropical Storm but is continuing to Louisiana. This disaster has been ruthless and painful for millions of people. Texas is home to Bravelets and we have watched friends homes flooded and destroyed in the Houston area, Rockport, Victoria, La Grange, and more. We knew we needed to do something to help, which is why we created a TEXAS BRAVE collection, available as a necklace and bracelet donating  100% of proceeds to the American Red Cross - Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund.

GRAHAM'S STORY

I sit here, fingers on the keys, thinking about how to start this post. How do I tell Graham's story? How do I explain the last eleven months of my life in a single post? How do I articulately and thoroughly explain the emotional storm we have experienced? 

I am the mom to a child with special needs. My son has special needs, a disability, a rare chromosomal abnormality. Technically, Graham has Cri-du-Chat Syndrome or 5P-. There was a deletion on the short arm of his fifth chromosome. He has special needs.
