I fought my way out of darkness.
And now that I’ve found my light, I refuse to dim it for anybody.
There are too many people still waiting on me.
Too many souls still trapped in the dark, praying someone comes back for them.
I vow to be the torch the light that finds them.
I am becoming who I needed when I was fighting my way out.
That’s why I created Your Light Is Welcome Here LLC-a purpose-driven brand rooted in children’s books, affirmations, and apparel, built to remind every child, every parent, every soul:
Your light is welcome.
Your light still matters.
Your light still burns.
I am here.
I am coming.
And I’m bringing the light with me.
Try to dim our light?
We will set the room on fire, and then become the wildfire they couldn’t contain.

This is more than a brand. This is your reminder that the world needs your light.
