"I procrastinate." -Trey

“January 2018 marks my 10th year in NYC and it wasn’t always a smooth ride: the 1st quarter of it I struggled to get work, and had eating disorders, 2nd quarter of it I got into nightlife and drugs, which almost consumed me, 3rd quarter spent on being depressed and getting back on track, and last quarter was the silver lining. I now appreciate even the littlest of things because I have experienced how it is to be empty. I have made peace with myself and thought I had to go through that ordeal to be who I am now. I never opened about this on social media because why bring up the past- I have such a beautiful life right now! But I’m inspired to speak by one of my best friends @holly_kiser who has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly in me, she was there in my darkest moments and she embraced me. Today I stand in support of her project @_imperfkt and there’s no better time to talk about this but now. If I came out ok, maybe it will be encouraging for others to know that they too will be ok.” -Meki 🤗🌈❤️

"I've always had the fear of letting my family down. I set big goals, but sometimes I put too much pressure on myself." -Lucas Lockwood/Actor

"I'm stubborn and a perfectionist which sometimes holds me back. I think I'm confident in my body but then I realize I still feel more comfortable with makeup on and my hair straightened. Clearly, I have a lot of room to grow. I also used to think I had to perfect myself before I could really start serving others and living my purpose, but I realized I'd be waiting forever. I had to get started, and everyday I have to get out of my own way."-Starla, Doctor/Entrepreneur

"I'm really quite. I never really have much to say. I'm not really shy or anything like that. I guess I'm just not talkative. I feel weird about it sometimes but I realize that's just how I am." -Meghan

"I struggle with having a positive outlook. You'd think that it'd be really easy after surviving breast cancer to live every single day to the fullest. But success and ultimately peacefulness starts with your own self perception. And if you don't learn to love yourself, that will negatively affect everything you do in life. The sooner the better... not when you lose 30lbs or get that new job promotion...right now! Because tomorrow is never promised and I'm thankful I was blessed with that lesson when facing my own health issues at such a young age." Janet, 31

"At the age of 50 I found my voice. I may still have a problem at times expressing myself and drawing boundaries, but I will never allow myself to tolerate friendships/relationships where I am not valued as a person. I'm 58 and I finally accept myself for who I am. Imperfections and all." -Sharon, 58

"When I was younger I associated femininity with being small; women are always trying to shrink themselves in order to appear conventionally attractive. Then I started to consider the implications of that notion; why should women have to negotiate their natural builds in order to be a "good woman"? I've been 6'0" since middle school and I've learned to embrace my height-- feeling the power of defying what is typically considered feminine by refusing to appear smaller. Instead, I stand tall, proud that my creativity and intelligence has more space to roam." - Kara Dotten, 21

“I’m #IMPERFKT because, well, I try to be perfect. And when things go awry, since no one is immune to life’s teachings, I place blame on myself. Which then backfires into a whirlwind of crippling un-awesomeness. I LOVE this shirt because it’s a reminder that not everything I do, say, look like, or put out there will be perfect. Though, it’s possible those imperfections can turn you into something sweeter and greater than you ever imagined.” -Dre Davis/Actor
