Dear She is a project created for by my former student jessi putnam, who is currently a senior graphic design major at SUNY new paltz. this is her thesis project, and is a way for women and girls of all ages to help deal with matters of body image and self confidence.

jessi writes: "Dear She utilizes the therapeutic qualities of writing as a form of self expression by writing anonymous love letters to the self. You can write a letter in the share section! Tell us anything you want, anything you want to get off your chest, it’s safe with us. You can also send us a tweet, an image of a drawing, a Facebook message, or anything that helps you work through a struggle that so many women face. These “letters” as we like to call them, will be collected into a book that you can view and purchase here on our site. Collecting the letters together, in whatever format they come in, will help create a sense of community. Readers will be able to experience the stories of women from all different walks of life, with different perspectives on the same topic. Dear She is a safe space to express yourself, seek comfort, and love yourself."

i think this is such a fantastic idea - and truly is a way to show that the struggles that women face are very universal, and seeing that you're not alone...

take a few minutes and share your story...
