This beautiful, powerful, heartbreaking book is a must-read - thank you for creating this for the world. My words will be far from adequate … but I hope that any of you who go through what you have gone through find support, safe spaces, and healing.
When I heard about hope in a purple crayon, there were three interesting words - Hope, Purple, and Crayon, and being a person who loves to play with colors and lives with hope, this was the catch that got me. Having experienced 13 sessions of it, I feel like it is something that I didn't know I needed, it is giving me all those vibes and space to heal myself kind of and be there for myself and the community of hope in a purple crayon as well..
When I heard about Hope In a Purple Crayon, I instantly resonated with it. Throughout the sessions, the trauma and the emotions that I didn't acknowledge or share with someone came to the surface. Each session was therapeutic and filled with knowledge & I was particularly surprised how art, music & therapy, all combined amazingly can help & heal in this way.
Reflection और introspection के बीच में जहन में होने वाली बातों को सोचने और समझ कर आज़ादी से सामने रखने देना कितनी कमाल सोच है ये, i am in awe of this.
Baithak bahut khubsoorat rahi, sabhi sundar logon ki wajah se. Jin muddo par ham bat kar paye unpar bat honi behad zaruri hai.

A phenomenal piece that will help so many people express themselves and hopefully change the narrative of violence and identity and call out a perpetrator. The beauty of the book is your honesty and vulnerability. More power to you and Toto..I am now your forever Momo.
