Podcast Episode 012 The Tears & Tulle Movement Season 1, Week 21, Participant Emmy Wu!
In Emmy's words:
Sighting a rainbow has long been believed to be a positive sign of things to come. Every time I see a rainbow, I remember that I’m not alone, and that something much bigger is at work around us… And recently, rainbows have been appearing in my life. I’m part of Gina Bell’s Tears & Tulle Movement, where this rainbow skirt is traveling to 52 women who are showing up in the world and connecting with their unique color... And the skirt has arrived at my door. Unboxing this skirt felt surreal as I contemplated my assignment: use the skirt to express what it means to show up in our own brilliance despite darkness and set-backs. And to be honest, I found this extremely hard. We are living in unprecedented times when so many lives have been turned upside down. Even for those lucky enough to have not been directly impacted by the virus, there’s a very real presence of grief and restlessness in our collective consciousness.
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀?
I recognize my own privilege being able to take shelter in my own home… and know this is not possible for many others. I’m grateful for my business being able to continue online… but honor the businesses who have lost income and have to make big pivots in order to keep moving forward. And all the essential workers who put themselves on the front line every day …
𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗿𝘁, 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳… 𝘀𝗼 𝗜 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀.
These images speak to our isolation indoors and the longing to be outside, with community. The rainbow skirt represents hope, and always a part of who we are as humans. It’s also about individual perspective. You see, rainbows are simply droplets of water reflecting and dispersing the sun’s rays, and yet this incredible display instills a child-like wonder in everyone. It’s about choosing to slow down, pause and recognize the beauty and hope that’s available in each moment… despite any challenges and hardship. That’s what makes us human. And that’s what makes each one of us brilliant.
To being human in these times,
Emmy
