Awareness Postcards

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the Artists, Poets, and Authors who inspired our Project 514 415 collection. This collection has enabled us to share the lived experiences of endometriosis, fostering meaningful conversations, raising awareness, and helping those affected feel heard, seen, and less isolated. Currently, we continue to share and promote Project 514 415 by hosting awareness galleries, distributing awareness postcards, and offering the 1-in-10 Poetry book for sale (also available for free download on Amazon). All profits from the Poetry book sales have been used to cover printing costs for our posters, postcards, and galleries, as well as the expenses associated with our awareness initiatives.
Let's dive in and see what amazing things we can achieve together in our exciting upcoming art and literature project: Being a Women!
