Today on my morning walk I stumbled upon something magical. I stood there for a moment, holding a dog on a leash, watching… and then joined in, trying to follow the choreography brought to Le Plan du Plan.
And suddenly there it was. Pure joy.
Girls, girls, girls. United.
Bodies moving, smiles everywhere, energy flying through the air like sparks.
It reminded me how lucky I am to be a woman.
It also took me back to a very different moment.
2009. I was 15 and had just lost my hair to alopecia. I felt unsure of my femininity. I was shy, scared, and often worried people thought I was a boy because I had no hair.
But I had a gang of teenage girls around me who held me up when I felt small. They protected me, supported me, and reminded me who I was when I couldn’t quite see it myself. And in many ways, that was the beginning of Kazuki, even though I didn’t know it yet.
Kazuki was born from the pride of showing the world that femininity isn’t fragile. It is powerful. It is joyful. It is something to wear loudly and proudly.
I remember how different I felt when I wore a dress.
Something shifted. My head lifted. My shoulders opened.
Instead of looking down, I started looking up.
