Did you know?

☞ About 1 in every 38 people living in the United States resides in New York City.

☞ New York has the highest population density of any major city in the United States, with over 27,000 people per square mile.

☞ Over 3 million of New York City’s residents are foreign-born; over one-quarter arrived in 2000 or later.

☞ The borough of Brooklyn on its own would be the 4th largest city in the United States; Queens would also rank 4th nationally.

☞ Half of all New Yorkers speak a language other than English at home.

☞ Over 200 languages are spoken in New York City.

With the amount of diversity here, it's surprising that there is such a strong hold of Eurocentricism in what is considered high taste and high-value presentation.

With NSE I hope we can show that not only is it safe to make more space, but more joyful as well.

🗽 NYC is an example to the world, and so if we can do our part to expand the circle here, we'll end up normalizing expansion for everybody, everywhere.

I wore those first prototypes of the Truvian soft pants everywhere, living my best life. I must have looked how I felt because people stopped me all the time to ask where I got them (this was all happening in NYC and LA). That's when I realized this could be a thing, 'cause it turns out a lot of people wanted the option to not wear tight pants. I got my mom to join me and we made a few more and distributed them.

I love this old photo of mom and me. Bliss. This is really the feeling I want to capture in all our products. Unbothered Bliss!

This is one of the first prototypes I made for the Truvian anti-pants / soft-pants (ps: which name do you prefer?) and it was fueled by rebellion. ⁠
⁠
I was rebelling against corporate polyester culture, and how for some reason being comfortable was viewed as being unprofessional. I was so mad that despite doing excellent work, emphasis was always on appearances.⁠
⁠
We're never going to build an equitable future if we don't even think people have a right to be themselves. People have a right to be comfortable in their skin.
⁠
Anyway, I was looking for a way to not wear tight pants. I wanted to de-emphasize the shape of my body, and yet play well (as myself) with others in the proverbial sand-pit. The answer lay in textiles that connected me back to my soil, and urban versions of shapes that I grew up wearing. ⁠
⁠
Let me tell you, I have lived in these softies ever since, and cannot imagine stuffing myself in skinny polyester anything ever again.

PS: Two versions of the Truvian Anti-Pants / Soft-Pants will be available on our new and improved website in two weeks. Stay tuned if you'd like a pair.⁠

Hi everybody! Happy full moon in Virgo. ⁠
⁠
Here's a gentle reminder for whoever needs to hear – Our bodies don't make us, we make us inside our bodies, so don't ever believe anybody telling you you're less than them. You're not, you're equal to the universe, and the universe is abundant.⁠
___⁠
⁠
The full moon in Uttara Phalguni (Denebola / β Leonis) is illuminating an important lesson for us. That the purpose of life is to make itself better, and it does so by expressing itself fully through whatever form it occupies. As it expresses, it grows. As it grows, it becomes abundant. As it becomes abundant, it becomes generous. ⁠
⁠
Wishing everybody abundance! May we all grow to our full potential. ⁠

Fight for the truth, give it your all. 
Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.

When you're on the side of truth, you remain undefeated.

In Shatabhishak, our minds realize the boundary of our being, that it's only us who must take responsibility for ourselves. We learn that when many people, all taking responsibility for themselves, unite, the impossible becomes possible.

I hope people in Ukraine and Russia unite and fight against the evil that tries to subjugate them. I hope they change the course of history and heal our world in unprecedented ways.

We hope people worldwide can fight for the truth and defeat the lie with yesterday's new moon cycle.

Then yesterday, the moon entered the same space in the sky that the sun has been occupying, new moon in Shatabhishak - symbolized as “A closed circle” or “a thousand stars”.

This is it, our one closed circle, where we stand beneath the one sky. Where for every positive action, we are faced with the equally powerful opposite, challenging it to rise above, and win. 

What assures victory of one over the other? Its the difference between truth and the lie. Those who face the truth, win.

Now the energy of Sravana (listening) was felt by everybody not just the nations at war, because we all stand under the one sky. So, on the first of March, when the moon entered Dhanishta (star of symphony) what did we hear? how did we face the music?

We heard the first accounts of Russian soldiers captured by the Ukrainians and learnt that they were lied to by the Kremlin.

Elon Musk listened to Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov of Ukraine through a tweet, and changed the course of history by delivering starlink to Ukraine.

And the world heard that even at the worse of times, people may choose to not recognize spirit. We learnt that human prejudice is worse than war.

On the 28th the moon entered the energetic field of Sravana, the star of listening, Russia and Ukraine decide to keep talking.

At least they met, and decided to continue.
