Jessie Graff Instagram – I cried when I saw this video for the first time. It’s something I started dreaming about a couple years ago, and now it’s finally starting to take shape, and I couldn’t be more excited about it. God led me on this path from art to ninja, and the whole time I’ve wondered, “Why ninja?” And slowly the pieces have come together. God has used ninja to change me, to teach me things I could have learned in no other way. I’ve been shaped physically, mentally, and spiritually. I’ve met incredible people, and I’ve felt inspired to paint their portraits. Paintings are always the most powerful when they share a story, but then I got thinking, what if those stories were shared live in person with the art? And the idea for the Strong Women Experience was born! Next fall I’ll be hosting an all day event where the original paintings will be shared with the stories from the models themselves. There will be uplifting messages, but also strengthening experiences from ninja to yoga, from journal writing to cold plunges. I want to spend a day exploring how we can strengthen ourselves and support each other as we grow in mind, body, and soul. I’m still working out the details, but if you’re interested in attending, sign up for more information at strongwomenexperience.com. And follow along with the progress of the art and learn more about the models at @strongwomenexperience. It’s not just art, it’s a movement. @jessiegraffpwr @rissfit_warrior @ultra.violetninja @trina.rasmussen @kyra_condie @sandy_zimmerman_ninja @thetiabeestokes @yoga_kamz #artninja #jenedypaige
