Let me tell you why THIS DIAPER REPS A DIFFERENT OPTION...

I have to take you back ⏪ to around the year 2000. I was about 6y/o when I watched A Different World for the first time. It was season 6 & I couldn't tell you how many episodes I watched that day... (only the TV GUIDE knows) but what I do remember is watching the last episode like it was yesterday.

It was different, different then the adult lives I saw around me. And, different fromwhat I believed was possible. It was my first introduction to college. I remember telling my older brother, "I want to go to college like mama." Without missing a beat he said, "mama ain't go to no college." Well, that little conversation in front of the TV changed my whole world! In that moment, I found out there was a different option. For the first time, (in all of my 6 years) reality interrupted my world. I wasn't disappointed, it's just until that moment after seeing the show I assumed everyone did because that what the TV showed. But, now I realized: some people went & some people didn't. Life could go either way. And, I chose in that moment the different option aka the one I didn't know was an option.

LONG STORY SHORT

Fast forward ⏩ (such & such years later)...

I became a first generation HS & College Graduate. So, this diaper is personal! It represents a different option, a different way, & a different path for me.

Quick Thoughts:

As, I've gotten older, I've realized something else. We spend so much time talking about how media influences people in negative ways... But, I'm a testament to what can happen when media (& things like, cultured diapers®) is created with intention! Like, when television isn't just trying to entertain or trying to get ratings... or anything products, media, or whatever isn't trying to get meaningly "buzz" but, actually has intentions to tell a story, change a life, or like me expand someone's imagination.

Hillman College was fictional. But, the dream it gave me was REAL! Hillman became the placeholder for my future. Longgggg before I knew where I would actually go. Or do, or be. I didn't know the process... like I said, I'm a first-gen HS & College Graduate. I didn't know what obstacles stood in front of me. I just knew one thing: I had A DIFFERENT OPTION & that my life could look different. That dream became something I carried with me through every setback! And, I mean everyyyy because their were many.
