About Us
ThePorcelainMasquerade?
It represents the universal truth that we spend our lives trying to define our existence, to answer the question - "who am I?" I believe that when we finally figure it out, we realize that the happiest version of 'self', is the same one we discover in childhood. Simple, curious, content.. when masks were made of magic and imagination.
One day we trade self-discovery for tedious adult routines because of societal expectations and fabricated responsibilities. And to make it to tomorrow, we have to wear masks of social constructs - typically tied to dollar signs. We lose track of time and then eventually, we lose the connection with that inner child. Now, social media allows us to unlock our front doors to the whole world, algorithms train us to believe that a 24/7 performance is 'normal', and we tend to forget that we are supposed to decide for ourselves. Masks can be fragile... but there's freedom in self-awareness, we can find the way back.
Step 1 is acknowledging that children are PRECIOUS and their INNOCENCE should be a PRIORITY. If we PROTECT and NURTURE, then they have a better chance of being HAPPY adults. Kids don't need grand gestures, just some tools and a little encouragement. The end game - happy adults make good decisions for themselves and for others.
Step 2 is to create a space for adults to self-reflect when we get lost. Maybe it helps to acknowledge any empty feelings that we might be experiencing and quick access to free resources might provide a general direction in the land of unlimited options. Then maybe what happens next becomes an informed decision.
​
Step 3 is to create a community that believes in Step 1 and Step 2. This will be the foundation required to inspire change. Sometimes it seems like we've strayed so far from where we thought we would be.. but it's never too late to get back on track. The mission is for our children right now, and their children in the future. The vision is to be consciously aware of where we stand so we can take a baby step forward.
An act of kindness can create a reaction, no matter how small. In return, we receive HOPE. We can restore our faith in humanity. It can start here, with us.
