Too loud.
Too ambitious.
Too opinionated.
That’s what people told Rhea growing up.
So she shrank herself.
Spoke less.
Blended in.
Until one day she realized something:
Blending in was exhausting.
She started speaking again.
Posting her work.
Launching ideas.
Sharing thoughts.
She lost people.
She gained herself.
Now when she wears AETHEREAL tees,
she says it feels symbolic.
Taking space.
Without apology.
Above the noise.
