Original Text from Instagram Post
This is Pie 100!! – made from scratch, Cherry Berry Pie with hand sculpted, hand painted details. To see the baked version go the link to my website in my profile.
To make it to 100 pies used to be my only goal for the project, and here we are! It’s been a well loved journey and like all good journeys, it far exceeded my expectations.
This art was made in collaboration with @@fullcircleholistic who was kind enough to share her images and words:
“I’m a physician and regularly see women who carry shame about their bodies and their genitals. So often women needlessly apologize to me for their vulvas or ask me nervously if everything is “normal.” I love your site and this novel way of celebrating and normalizing women’s diverse amazing beautiful bodies. And yet- yikes! – I took a big pause when you asked if it would be OK to post my name/insta handle. I find I’m not immune to the nervousness and even shame about my own genitals! Humbling and a reminder of how much personal work I still have to do clearing my own shame. Whew!- never ending! I’m also proud as hell of the 5 babies birthed through there (including my 12 pound son!) Women are badass!”
Women ARE badass! I don’t know if it’s possible to clear all of the shame internalized since birth, but we can keep trying, supporting each other, and loving ourselves through it.
Thank you for your support and encouragement!
