We all get scrapes and bruises. We all have scars. And each of these little marks make us more human in some small way. They are a reminder of what our body has seen and what our body has endured. Aniek is an incredible woman who, after a traumatic incident in her childhood that left her severely scarred, has found a way to embrace her body and the skin that she is in. This is a story about vulnerability, resilience, courage and beauty. To be part of our film making journey - https://www.patreon.com/greenrenaissance Filmed in Cape Town, South Africa.

Part of the amazing thing about being a human being is that we are able to have a wide range of emotions. Think of your feelings as waves on the ocean. They come and go, rise and fall. No feeling lasts forever, and anger and sadness are necessary, helpful parts of the human experience. But when we try to suppress these emotions, we are unable to truly thrive as people. Part of having a full life is feeling all of your emotions. It is beaming with joy, and feeling like your heart is full of gratitude during some moments. It is also experiencing heartbreak and disappointment and truly letting yourself sit with these feelings. All of our emotions contain gifts and help us to truly grow as people. You deserve to let yourself experience all of your emotions, and to treat yourself with kindness and care. Filmed at Cape Town, South Africa. Featuring Christy Bragg.
