About Love Me Anyways
‘Anyways’ is a colloquial variant, used intentionally to heighten the meaning.
Love Me Anyways is a thought initiative by PADHiA meant to inspire a shift in the way we feel about ourselves and each other. Often, we hide aspects of our truth out of fear and shame, not realizing that the things that make us the most human are the things that make us the most lovable.
Love Me Anyways takes many forms—murals and public art, an ever-evolving hand-painted designer apparel line, fine art, collectibles, and more! As people interact with LMA, unexpected moments arise …unfiltered voices and colorful images weave into a living mosaic, and a worldwide Love Me Anyways storybook emerges.
What are PADHiA’s Thought Initiatives?
Thought initiatives by PADHiA are deliberately placed statements or imagery within the public landscape, crafted to shift perception, spark reflection, and awaken a deeper sense of human connection.
As we move through daily life, we are quietly shaped by countless subtle messages—many of which evoke feelings of shame, inadequacy, or isolation. PADHiA’s thought initiatives are social movements that interrupt this hypnosis, inviting us to see through a warmer lens, perhaps even a lens of wonder.
The concepts unfold across mediums—street art, fine art, collectibles, apparel, books, videos, events, social media, and more—meeting the viewer in fluid, ever-changing ways where new depths of meaning are continually revealed.
A Personal Note From PADHiA about LMA
I am driven to share this little sentence with the world because it has helped me to rise above so much. It became my freedom cry as I came into life from a bizarre, dark place—feeling lesser than everyone around me and carrying challenges that are not easily understood, such as Complex PTSD (CPTSD). This one little sentence has helped me to live a life beyond those limitations.
