Mikaela's Closet
We all have our beginnings.
My personal journey, like many others, began in mainstream department stores perusing displays for clothing that would make me feel like me. I searched the racks filled with quiet anxiety at the thought of being "caught" by someone who recognized me, or worse yet a family member.
These secret missions towards self expression taught me the importance of anonymity and comfort, while trying to build the wardrobe that best matches our perceived gender. Many obstacles can prohibit us from achieving such a basic, yet important and affirming goal.
