Be Yourself Collection
This exclusive merchandise collection was born from a turning point in my own journey—when I stopped comparing and started believing that who I am is enough. My psychologist once told me, “Being yourself is enough,” and I followed it with, “Being yourself is my superpower.” That moment stuck with me. So when I started dreaming up this collection, I loved the idea of saying “your” instead of “my”—because I want everyone to feel it applies to them too. These pieces are a reminder for anyone wearing them: you don’t need to be more or different—you already carry value, strength, and power just by being yourself.
To me, “Being yourself is your superpower” means that I don’t have to look outward or compare myself to others—I already have everything I need inside me. When I was little, I was full of life. I followed my instincts, moved freely, and didn’t judge myself. But as I got older, I started to notice all the ways I was different. I had dyslexia. I wasn’t in the same classes as my peers. I often felt like I didn’t belong.
Skating gave me that sense of belonging—but it also brought a lot of pressure and perfectionism. I became so focused on being “enough” or “successful” that I forgot how to just be me.
When my psychologist told me, “Being yourself is enough,” something clicked. I added, “Being yourself is your superpower,” and that simple phrase truly changed the way I think. It reminded me that my differences aren’t something to fix—they’re part of my power. And I’m so grateful for that.
