A lot of women feel pressure to be prefect. Perfect body, perfect outfit, perfect partner, perfect family, perfect home ... This pressure can lead to a sense of inadequacy or shame that holds us back from really living our lives. It can also result in us hiding our imperfections - particularly when we feel we are the only one who is imperfect. Imagine a different world where we share and embrace our imperfections .... this liberation is what bracanvas sets out to achieve. We want to show how very human it is to be and feel imperfect and to show how articulating those imperfections can transform our lives.
