“These are challenging times. With our basic human rights in jeopardy, it’s hard not to feel like this country is moving backwards.” Stephanie Wang-Breal reflects on her video, continuing: “I created the short visual anthem, I TOLD THEM, for the UNSTOPPABLE campaign because everyone needs to be reminded that all is not lost. We have been here before. We have all been told, at one time or another, that we could not be someone or do something because of our gender, sexuality, race or beliefs. But we can’t let that stop us. We must continue to look forward and remember that if we follow our truth and fight like hell, we can and will accomplish many, many things.”
“My first inspiration was my daughter, who is featured in the piece,” Wang-Breal says. “I see how free she is, how unencumbered by her gender, how fearless she is. People are always like, you should reign her in, you should watch what she’s doing, but it’s beautiful and I don’t want to contain it.”
