TEDx: OUR STORY

 
“Something that started as a simple idea became a global movement that created a pathway for not just me, but thousands of women to put a stop to one of the greatest injustices of our time. ”

TELL THE WORLD WHY

#Itsbiggerthanadress

Still not over the creativity of the outfits we saw at our #youcandoanythinginadress 5k! Who said advocacy had to be boring? _ 📷: @shannon_leith
When I was young, I had issues with my speech. I was pulled from class multiple times a week for speech therapy, an act that would leave me feeling isolated and abnormal. While therapy was able to cure me of my speech disorder, some days I still live with this ancient insecurity that something is wrong with my voice. _ But I’ve been learning that there are too many important things that need to be said these days to let anybody (yes, this includes ourselves) tell us that our voice does not work — that our voice is not heard. The world needs our roar. 💛Madeline MacDonald - Communications Manager @ Dressember
Fact: doing yoga in a dress makes you more balanced....we think. Probably. 🤷🏽‍♀️ _ Thanks @onedowndog for leading us through a post-run yoga flow at our #dressember 5k. Namaste 🙏🏼 _ 📷: @jordansabolick
We don’t love early mornings. We also don’t love running. But yesterday swayed us to do a little more of both. Our first #youcandoanythinginadress 5k was nothing short of magical. Thank you to everyone who showed up at our official 5k in Los Angeles or ran with us from your own city. Yesterday, we learned from CAST’s Director of Empowerment Programs, Carol Lumpkin, about the power that $150 has to assist a transition aged youth in their escape and in their recovery. We’ve already raised over $20,000 for @castlosangeles & we’ll continue to leave campaign pages open to allow them to reach even more youth in Southern California! _ In case you missed it, you can still listen to our 5k podcast at dressember.org/5kpodcast & contribute to our impact by following the link in our bio. _ Swipe left for some highlights brought to you by our Dressember community!
Do the big, brave things. You never know who you might be lifting up with you as you rise. _ ✍🏽: #dressember editorial intern, Mallory Mishler
‘A woman in a dress is a force to be reckoned with. Yes, a force to be reckoned with. But not a body to be messed with.’ @arielleestoria performed a breathtakingly raw piece of spoken word for our upcoming 5k audio experience. It has us feeling fierce & strong, and ready to show the world that #youcandoanythinginadress , just like Dressember advocate, @brit_laurenn who completed a spartan race in a little black dress to raise awareness about modern slavery 💪🏽 Yes, a woman in a dress is a force to be reckoned with. 📷: @brit_laurenn

On Mother’s Day, we celebrate the nurturing, strong & resilient mothers who lay their hearts out as they bring others into the world. For some, today is a day of mourning, a reminder of strained relationships, a game of comparison. Life, relationships, motherhood can be both beautiful and tough. Days like these hold the power to bring out both. _ Here’s what we know to be true. When you were brought into this world, someone laid eyes on you & thought you were the loveliest thing they’d ever seen. It could be your mom, grandma, sister, neighbor, or adoptive parent. Today, we honor the women who cheer us on, look at us and continue to whisper - “You are the loveliest thing.” Happy Mother’s Day.
