Empowerment Guide, Gina Bell and Fashion Designer, Cassandra Youngs have teamed up in a brand new project that was created to inspire men everywhere to connect with their color…. right now. Not when we feel like everything is perfect. Not when we answer the last email. Not when our laundry is done. Not when things go the way we think they should. Right now. Right this very second. Right in the moments that make up our lives.

The Tears & Taffeta Movement was created to celebrate men everywhere who are showing up in the world and connecting with their color from within the chaos of this beautiful, messy thing we call life.

Over a year's time, an amazing multi-colored taffeta cape will travel to the homes of 12 or more inspirational men who will wear it, play in it, snap a picture of themselves in it, and send it off to the next colorful participant.

The twist? Each person will pair the cape with something black to emphasize his ability to show up in the world from within a place of darkness. A.K.A. our everyday struggles, hard times, and messy real-life stuff. 

These are real men showing up and celebrating their ability to grow through their pain, reconnect with color in their lives, and take a stand for men everywhere.
