Hundreds of unique, hand-made art postcards, containing words of compassion and solidarity are hand delivered to individuals and communities all over the world, bringing connection, hope, visibility and voice to women and girls whose lives have suffered from isolation, violence or repression.

As one African-American artist on a prominent museum board told me, "I felt even more tokenized than if I had been part of some kind of Artists'' Council or African-American Council."
