Padhia is a Los Angeles-based street artist, fashion designer, and writer. Her art explores the often undiscovered and obscure aspects of our interior human landscape and can best be described as psychological commentary. She is the originator of several viral movements including "Unfuk Yourself: Be who you were before all the stuff happened that dimmed your fucking shine", and the Love Me Anyways thought initiative. She has expanded both into fine art as well as an apparel line in the US and Japan. You can follow her on Instagram @unfukyourself, or check out her website here. You can see her shop here, and check out her art, apparel, stickers, and more. Also, the facility in Malibu that she mentioned is Serenity, and you can learn more here. Finally, if you are feeling suicidal or need someone to talk to now, immediately, here is a website for resources or you can call this number and speak to an expert who will listen: 1 800 273 8255. Remember that sharing weakness is a sign of strength. Please make the fucking call. I love you.
