Jacqueline Kulaga, Ph.D.
Ombudsperson
I take moments from my evolving motherhood, that can sometimes break us as women, and use as a catalyst for growth, encouragement and as a testimony for other women to know they are not alone. I’m creating a space for women to see that it’s ok to NOT be perfect, it’s ok to praise yourself some days, it’s ok to be whomever you want to be in any given moment. We have been brainwashed into thinking that we have to live up to these expectations set before us by people who aren’t even living for themselves. Whether it’s our parents, peers or people we admire on social media, there is a sense of unattainable perfection that is poured into us from youth. And, I for one, refuse to reduce my life to the perfection of others. My hope is that people identify with imperfection as beautiful and strive to live up to someone that owns their truth.
