If my show can positively impact at least one person, the sleepless nights, endless weeks, and crippling stress are all worth it.  I wanted to challenge perceptions and spark meaningful conversations about a topic that is often swept under the rug.”

While the collection has sparked controversy, Middleton remains steadfast in her commitment to raising awareness and advocating for change.
