FOUNDER'S STORY

From pain to purpose.

Michelle was born on August 16, at 8:16 AM. That number would one day become a promise to herself and to every woman who needed to believe a different life was possible. Project 816 was born from her own journey through hardship, healing, and the decision to begin again.
