QUESTION
You are launching Liberation Street in women’s history month, why is it important to share this collection now?
Jai: I think it’s always important to always share a message that could give people an opportunity to resonate with a subject or an idea that is part of their consciousness. Because we all have women in our lives, we have mothers, we have sisters, we have friends and partners who are women and we all understand, fundamentally how they play a significant role in our lives, and in society, and to expand as a community of people, we need them to be empowered. We need them to feel safe, we need them to be free, we need them to experience the world as themselves, beyond limitation, prejudice, discrimination, challenge so that they can form a relationship with themselves, and with other women, men, and children.
I believe that women are the heart and soul of what makes us expand and evolve. Women have an awareness of life, of faith, of belief, of imagination and they are truly unique. They have this unique gift to create life and bond with another human being in a way that men could never experience or achieve, or even understand. It’s almost like an organic natural connection to God, possibly to nature, to the highest form or state of consciousness because they’ve been gifted with this ability to form life, to help humanity evolve.
"We need (women) to feel safe, we need them to be free, we need them to experience the world as themselves."
They also have a deeper connection to themselves, and to nature and to the world beyond this physical reality, be at spirituality, be it consciousness. By limiting them as people by how they are treated, how they are perceived, and how they live, we are limiting our own opportunities to discern life and expand.
As we are entering this new era of technology, where we all have the opportunity become more visible, share, ideas, communicate express at will, this is the perfect time to inject a little bit of consciousness into that stream, a little bit of thought, a little bit of creativity, and somehow by sharing these wonderful stories and ideas and visuals that represent individuals throughout the last hundred years we may inspire people, we may connect to somebody who is struggling. We may appeal to people who want to show their qualities, who understand the importance of standing up for your beliefs.
