The tag displays three illustrated symbols: a blue shape labeled “DEPRESSION,” a wavy green shape labeled “FEAR,” and a brown shape labeled “LOVE.” Text on the tag reads “AND BECAUSE SILENCED & Respect.” Below the tag, a message reads: “We’re gone through so much because we feel we did — a voice to our silences, a loudness because we are — Loud to be heard. We are Loud to heal, we are — because we are proud.” #solo1 #loudbeautifulswallowed #recognitionandrespectA person with dark skin and dark hair holds a brightly colored, patterned scarf over their head and shoulders.
