Dear Brett and Courtney,

I used to watch survivor all the time ages ago, yet stopped recently. However, in the last week, I saw the last couple episodes of Samoa. I was immediately drawn to you, Brett. I couldn’t figure out why you seemed so much different than anyone I’d seen before. You had such a great light, and energy…it was magnetic. Then, when you recited a scripture to Natalie…I was sold. I was so inspired to see such a pure hearted person in such a manipulative game.

Later, my friend mentioned to me that you designed t-shirts for a living despite the fact that all your survivor peers referred to you as simply “the kid”. So I decided to look you up online, and found TMOOH. I was floored. It seemed like fate for me to have been lead to this project…being in my young 20s and one of the women in this world that has constantly struggled with insecurity and image, simply because of all the pressure in society. I’ve always been active, healthy and average… but because the world said I was fat because I wasn’t a size zero, I believed it.

After struggling through fad diets and eating disorders in high school, what brought me out of my self-doubt and insecurity was my faith and people like you and Courtney working to inspire the world that EVERYONE is beautiful and has something to offer to this world. I am SO THANKFUL to have stumbled upon your mission; it’s SO encouraging to see that in our generation, there are still people willing to fight for people. Everyone deserves to be happy and free in their own skin. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done…and all you’ll continue to do. This is amazing, and WILL touch the lives of many. It’s definitely touched mine, and I plan on spreading the word.

I feel so strongly about this as well, and like I said… it really encourages me to keep going forward knowing that I’m not alone in the fight. We’re ALL beautiful, and it’s time we see it for what it is, instead of through the skewed reality society paints for us.

Thanks so much again,
Kimberly
